The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Saxony Charms KTB Selection55/100

    Form 355 · A Oliver · Gary Carroll

    Saxony Charms has shown fair form in three starts, finishing no worse than fifth and placing once over today's trip. The first-time headgear is an unknown that could sharpen him up but also adds an element of risk at this stage. Trainer and jockey both have modest records at Navan while the small sample on good ground leaves suitability untested.

  2. 2Orphanina55/100

    Form 09 · Conor David Maxwell · Rory Cleary

    Orphanina has shown very little in two starts so far, finishing ninth then last. The step up to 1m2f is a fresh question and the wide draw in stall 19 adds difficulty. Trainer has a solid 17% strike rate at Navan but the jockey's record here reads just 5% from 497 rides.

  3. 3Windbourne50/100

    Patrick T Foley · Luke McAteer

    Windbourne is a newcomer with no racecourse experience so far. The pedigree and sales background offer the only clues here and the low data confidence means any conclusions are tentative. Trainer Patrick T Foley has an 11% strike rate from 18 runs at Navan while jockey Luke McAteer posts a 9% strike rate from 110 rides at the track.

  4. 4What Do You Say50/100

    A Oliver · Jack Kearney(3)

    What Do You Say is a newcomer with no racecourse form to go on. The yard has a solid record at Navan and the 3lb claimer has also done well at the track. Pedigree and sales background are the only other clues available.

  5. 5Queen Of Chenab50/100

    Form - · Patrick J Flynn · Ghulam Abbas(7)

    Queen Of Chenab has only two career runs and no recent form to go on so any assessment has to be tentative. The drop back from 2m to 1m2f asks a fresh question while the small sample makes both ground and overall ability hard to read with confidence. Trainer Flynn has a 9% strike rate from 308 runs at Navan while jockey Ghulam Abbas has no recorded rides at the track.

  6. 6Serendipia50/100

    Form 68433 · W McCreery · W J Lee

    Modest performer who has shown some consistency lately with three placed efforts in her last five starts.

  7. 7Lamar Valley50/100

    Form 06 · Kevin Thomas Coleman · Leigh Roche

    Lightly raced colt with just two runs behind him and very little to go on.

  8. 8Mawhibah49/100

    Form 542 · Joseph Patrick O'Brien · J M Sheridan

    Modest performer who has shown steady placed form in three starts, finishing no worse than fifth.

  9. 9Fairylike48/100

    Form 4 · A P O'Brien · Wayne Lordan

    Fairylike showed fair form when fourth on debut over 1m2½f.

  10. 10Gentle Soda48/100

    E McNamara · Andrew Slattery

    Gentle Soda has only one career run behind him so the form picture remains very thin.

  11. 11Shanala48/100

    Form 54 · J P Murtagh · Ben Coen

    Shanala has shown only modest form in two starts at this trip, finishing fifth then fourth without threatening the principals.

  12. 12Near Perfection48/100

    Form 5 · Donnacha Aidan O'Brien · Gavin Ryan

    Near Perfection showed fair promise when fifth on debut over 1m4f.

  13. 13Pampar Lady47/100

    Form 28 · Gavin Cromwell · Robert Whearty

    Pampar Lady has shown steady placed form this year but arrives off the back of two modest efforts.

  14. 14Vivere A Colori46/100

    Mrs John Harrington · Nathan Crosse

    Vivere A Colori is a debutant with limited racecourse evidence to go on.

  15. 15Peshwari Nan46/100

    Form 800 · John C McConnell · Siobhan Rutledge

    Peshwari Nan has shown very little in three starts to date, finishing eighth or worse each time.

  16. 16Hey Stella46/100

    Form 3 · G M Lyons · Colin Keane

    Hey Stella showed fair form when third on debut over 1m3½f.

  20. 20Ventriloquist42/100

    John C McConnell · Donagh O'Connor

    Ventriloquist has only one run in the last year and remains very lightly raced overall.

    Form 6 · Mark Fahey · Reese Holohan(7)

    Susie's Angel showed only modest form when sixth on debut over 7f.
