The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Ridersinthesky KTB Selection52/100

    Form 3336-0 · Mrs J. Harrington · Shane Foley

    Fair performer who has been consistent in defeat over shorter trips without winning. Steps up to 1m for the first time today and has already tried the distance twice without success. Trainer and jockey both operate at a 10% strike rate at Naas from large samples.

  2. 2What Do You Say49/100

    Form 00 · A Oliver · James Ryan

    What Do You Say has shown little in two runs so far and remains hard to assess with any confidence. The trainer holds a solid 10% strike rate at Naas from a big sample while the jockey operates at a modest 4%. Dropping back to an untried 1m trip is a fresh question on ground that cannot yet be judged from such limited evidence.

  3. 3Big Jake48/100

    Form 48 · A Oliver · Ben Coen

    Big Jake has shown only modest form in two starts so far and drops back to 1m after his latest effort over 1m2f. He was placed without winning at today's trip on his only attempt. The trainer has a solid 10% strike rate from 218 runs at Naas while the jockey operates at 8% from 359 rides here, though the horse's light career makes any firm conclusions risky.

  4. 4Mac An Luais47/100

    Form 75 · Patrick T Foley · Luke McAteer

    Lightly raced colt with just two runs behind him and low data confidence overall. Steps up to 1m for the first time today which asks a fresh question while first-time headgear is also applied. Trainer holds an 8% strike rate at Naas from 48 runs and the jockey is operating at 12% from 129 rides here.

  5. 5Legato45/100

    Form 00 · Michael Mulvany · Wesley Joyce

    Legato has shown very little in two starts to date, finishing last on both occasions. The yard has a modest 6% strike rate at Naas from a large sample while the jockey is operating at 4% here. With only two runs on the clock and a small-sample trip record that offers no encouragement, there is not enough evidence to form a reliable view.

  6. 6Twin Nation45/100

    Noel Meade · Adam Caffrey

    Twin Nation has only one run to his name so he remains largely unexposed.

  7. 7Tai Foo45/100

    Mrs J. Harrington · Nathan Crosse

    Tai Foo is a debutant with limited public form to go on.

  8. 8Notahairoutofplace45/100

    Form 06 · R K Watson · Jack Cleary(5)

    Notahairoutofplace has shown little in two starts this season following a modest debut last year and remains lightly raced overall.

  9. 9Zelani44/100

    Form 52 · D K Weld · Chris Hayes

    Placed second on debut then filled the same spot in a stronger race last time, showing a consistent level without yet winning.

  10. 10Griselinia43/100

    Form 80 · Kevin Thomas Coleman · J M Sheridan

    Griselinia has shown little in two starts so far, finishing well beaten on both occasions.

  11. 11Freddiesadienray43/100

    Form 07 · Gerard Keane · Nicola Burns(5)

    Lightly raced with just two runs and recent form of 07, so any assessment must be tentative.

  12. 12Winter Adventure43/100

    Noel Meade · Siobhan Rutledge

    Noel Meade has a solid 13% strike-rate at Naas from a huge sample of runners yet this debutant arrives with very limited data overall.

  13. 13Ballysax Boo40/100

    Form 90 · Miss Katy Brown · Killian Leonard

    Ballysax Boo has shown very little in two starts so far and arrives with a modest recent form line of 90.

  14. 14Nothingbutadream40/100

    Form 0070 · Chris Timmons · Robbie Colgan

    Nothingbutadream has shown very little in four runs to date with a string of poor efforts.

  15. 15Tax Me Later39/100

    Form 323 · Kevin Thomas Coleman · Reese Holohan(5)

    Placed twice in three starts and looks a fair horse on that evidence.

  16. 16Ginnos Oasis39/100

    Cian Hughes · Rory Mulligan(5)

    Ginnos Oasis is a newcomer with no racecourse experience.
