KTB FitKTBFitMatched to the race
050100
A 0–100 figure for how well a horse fits the race it is about to run, built from form and connections and frozen overnight. The top-rated runner in every race is graded in public afterwards, win or lose.
The letter beside a figure (A, B or C) grades how firmly it could be measured, not how good the run was: A is the firmest. Rating grades · Speed grades

What you getThe whole field's KTB Rating and KTB Speed for one race a day, before the off. Figures we show free stay free.
How we choose itThe day's highest-class British or Irish race with at least five runners in which at least 80% of the field have a KTB Rating; if no race reaches 80%, the one with the largest share rated. Fixed before the first race. Whether figures exist decides it, never what they say.
