Ile de France
Ile de France is a two-year-old with one win and one placed finish from just two races, which means it has won half its races so far. The horse made a winning debut at Dundalk on 15 August — just days ago — and then ran again within the week, finishing fifth on its most recent outing. That suggests the the yard are keen to get racing into the horse quickly.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse is trained by A P O'Brien at Cashel in County Tipperary, a yard that has sent out 125 winners already this season, so it is in the hands of someone with plenty of firepower. Being a two-year-old with a win already on the board puts Ile de France ahead of the game — many horses at this age are still finding their feet — though the drop from first to fifth in consecutive races hints that the step up in class or the quick turnaround may have caught it out. It is still very early in the horse's career, and early form at this age can shift quickly.
