The KTB Fit ranking

1Summer Snow KTB Selection57/100
Modest performer who has been out of form for a while with a string of poor efforts this season. Placed on his only previous run at Listowel and has a solid record on good ground including four wins. Drops back to 1m today having won at the trip in the past though the jockey is yet to score from ten rides at the track.
-
2Wegotogether57/100
Modest performer who arrives in decent nick after a C&D win last month. He has handled good ground in the past and stays this trip well enough. Trainer and jockey both have solid records at Listowel though the horse has never been here before.
-
3Red Hugh O'Donnell54/100
Modest performer who has won once at this trip but showed little spark on his last two starts. He has run just once at Listowel, finishing fifth, while the trainer holds a solid 9% strike rate here from 32 runs. The jockey is less effective at the track with a 5% strike rate from 21 rides and the horse is 0-8 on good ground.
-
4Green Kite51/100
Modest performer who has shown bits of ability on his better days but has been hit and miss this year. Steps up to 1m for the first time today having been placed at the trip without winning, and he has already run once over course and distance when finishing ninth. Trainer has a 10% strike rate from 20 runs at Listowel while the jockey is operating at 14% from seven rides here.
-
5Stellar View51/100
Stellar View has shown modest ability in three starts and looks held by stronger opposition on recent efforts. The yard fires at a solid 16% strike rate at Listowel from a big sample but the 7 lb claimer has only one ride here so far. Trip looks about right though he has failed to land a blow at this distance twice already.
