KTB Profile

Ayyadieh is a Westerner gelding who is yet to win from four starts on turf but has placed twice. He showed his best effort when third of 10 in a Class 5 handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee in Mar 2026. That run came off an official rating of 97, which remains his career-high mark, and he was sent off the beaten favourite. He has raced over 1m5f to 2m4f on good, soft and heavy ground.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 102 the best of the last 2 graded (A or B) runs · Bangor-on-Dee, 21 Mar 2026

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 110A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Bangor-on-Dee, 21 Mar 2026 Official rating 97 at the last run, 21 Mar 2026

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 — its best recent day. The KTB Rating on a racecard is a different reading of the same figures: the level the horse has been running to, an average of up to its last six runs with the latest counting most, so the two can differ. 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.
