KTB Profile

Artistic Endeavour is a Kayf Tara gelding who has yet to win from eight starts on turf though he has placed four times. He recorded his best effort when second of four in a Class 4 handicap hurdle at Plumpton in Mar 2024. That was his last run, off an official rating of 112 which matched his highest ever mark, and he went off the beaten favourite. He raced over trips from 1m5f to 3m on good to soft or softer ground.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 110 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Lingfield, 11 Dec 2023

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 →

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 124A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Sandown, 26 Jan 2024 Official rating 112 at the last run, 4 Mar 2024

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. 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.
