Balkeo (FR)
Balkeo finished second of 12 at Auteuil in May 2021 on his second start and has placed once more from five runs in total. The gelding, by Galiway out of an Anabaa mare, showed that form over 2m1f to 2m4f on soft ground. He last ran at Exeter in Dec 2024 in a Class 4 novices handicap hurdle off a mark of 114, his first start for Chris Honour. He reached a highest official rating of 120.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 79
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 →
Of 3 runs looked at, 2 have no figure: did not complete (2).

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.
