Ancestor (GB)
Ancestor (GB) is a gelding by Sea The Stars out of a Redoute's Choice mare who has two wins from five runs, both at Class 3. Each success came on a first visit to the course, over 1m2f – 1m4f on good or good to firm going. He won the Zyn Pole Position EBF Novice Stakes at Haydock in Aug 2026 and the Great Yarmouth Racecourse Maiden Stakes at Yarmouth the previous month. His last run, at York in Oct 2026, was off a career-high mark of 92 when he finished 11 of 18.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 120
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 →
