KTB Profile

Arc Shadowfax is a gelding who won one of 17 starts, the success coming in a Class 5 maiden at Redcar over 6f-7f on good ground in May 2023. All his other runs, including six at Southwell AW, have failed to add to that tally. He last ran at Ayr in Jul 2025, finishing eighth of eight in a Class 6 handicap off an official rating of 54, 22lb below his highest ever mark. Headgear returned at that outing.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 112 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Newcastle (AW), 10 Mar 2025

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.

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 61A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Leicester, 10 May 2025 Official rating 54 at the last run, 14 Jul 2025

What the horse achieved in each race, in pounds on the official-rating scale, from the weight carried, the lengths beaten and the race's own level solved across the archive — never the market, never the official rating as a starting point. The headline is the best of the horse's last three rated runs on that code. A, B or C on a run is how much known form was in that race.

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.
