All six runs over that trip and going have produced her only success. Typically held up, she finished 5 of 6 at Hereford in Apr 2026 in a Class 5 mares handicap off an official rating of 86, which was 9lb below her highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 112 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Bellewstown, 26 Aug 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. What this means →

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating (jumps) 87C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Limerick, 18 Oct 2025 Official rating 86 at the last jumps run, 6 Apr 2026

Best recent KTB Rating (flat) 70A the best of the last 2 rated runs · Bellewstown, 26 Aug 2025 Official rating 85 at the last flat run, 2 Sep 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 — 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.
