Absolute Steel (IRE)
Absolute Steel won one of five starts over hurdles, the success coming in a Class 2 novices event at Exeter in Feb 2024 over 2m1f to 2m4f on heavy ground. The gelding, by Mount Nelson out of a Dr Massini mare, raced on turf throughout. He last ran at Ffos Las in Apr 2024 when he contested a Class 4 handicap off his career-high mark of 113.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed —
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
