The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Adversity KTB Selection52/100

    Miss Natalia Lupini · Chris Hayes

    Adversity made just one start so far and showed little at this trip. The yard has a solid 14% strike rate at Naas from a decent-sized sample. Both trainer and jockey records at the track are established but nothing to shout about, and the going remains an unknown on this soft surface.

  2. 2All Talk49/100

    Form 4 · Stephen Thorne · Robbie Colgan

    All Talk showed fair promise when finishing fourth on debut over 7f. He steps up to a new trip today which asks a fresh question of him. Trainer and jockey both have modest records at Naas.

  3. 3Don't Go Mad49/100

    Form 00 · Ross O'Sullivan · Donagh O'Connor

    Has shown little in two runs to date and was well beaten when last of 15 on course debut here. The yard's modest 4% strike rate at Naas offers no encouragement, though the jockey's 10% record at the track is respectable. Trip and ground both remain unknown on this small-sample evidence.

  4. 4Admired Beauty49/100

    Form 280 · J S Bolger · Andrew Slattery

    Admired Beauty has shown fair form in three runs as a 2-year-old, including a placed effort on debut before two lesser displays. She steps up to 1m for the first time today which asks a fresh question of her. The Bolger yard has a solid 13% strike rate at Naas while Slattery's 8% record here is in line with market expectations.

  5. 5Angel Invincible48/100

    Daniel McLoughlin · Nathan Crosse

    Angel Invincible is a newcomer with no racecourse experience. The pedigree and sales background are not supplied so there is little concrete information to go on. Trainer Daniel McLoughlin has an 8% strike rate from 24 runs at Naas while jockey Nathan Crosse is operating at 5% from 212 rides here.

  6. 6Astroway48/100

    David Marnane · Luke McAteer

    Astroway is a debutant with no racecourse form to go on.

  7. 7Duquesne Bay48/100

    Gavin Cromwell · Jack Kearney(3)

    Duquesne Bay is a newcomer with no racecourse experience.

  8. 8Naval Gazer48/100

    G. M. Lyons · James Ryan

    Naval Gazer is a newcomer from the G M Lyons yard which has a solid 15% strike rate at Naas from a large sample.

  9. 9Ted's Turn48/100

    Form 554 · Joseph G Murphy · Adam Caffrey

    Ted's Turn has shown steady but unspectacular form in three starts, finishing fifth on both his last two outings at this trip.

  10. 10Iveagh House48/100

    Form 4 · Aidan O'Brien · Jack Cleary(5)

    Iveagh House showed fair promise when fourth on debut over 7f.

  11. 11True Sovereign47/100

    Aidan O'Brien · Shane B Kelly

    True Sovereign is a newcomer from the Aidan O'Brien yard which has a solid 22% strike rate at Naas from a huge sample.

  12. 12Island Bloom47/100

    Form 3 · Stuart Crawford · J M Sheridan

    Island Bloom showed some promise when third on debut over 7f here, suggesting she handles the track.

  13. 13Knight's Honour46/100

    Aidan O'Brien · Liam Keniry

    Knight's Honour is a newcomer from the Aidan O'Brien yard which has a solid 22% strike rate at Naas from a large sample.

  14. 14Raygani45/100

    J. P. Murtagh · Ben Coen

    Raygani showed very little on his sole start over 7f at this track where he finished tenth.

  15. 15Sevengrandchildren44/100

    Michael Mulvany · Wesley Joyce

    Sevengrandchildren is a debutant with low data confidence so any read rests mainly on pedigree and sales background.

  16. 16Selosse44/100

    Form 5 · Mrs J. Harrington · Shane Foley

    Selosse showed fair promise when fifth on debut over 7f.

  17. 17Lady Lucille43/100

    Patrick T Foley · Rory Mulligan(5)

    Lady Lucille is a newcomer with no racecourse experience so the assessment rests entirely on her pedigree and sales background.

  18. 18Grecian Pearl42/100

    Gerard Keane · Nicola Burns(5)

    Grecian Pearl is a newcomer with no racecourse experience so the assessment rests entirely on pedigree and sales background.
