Ballybentragh (IRE)
Ballybentragh won the Class 3 Cardinal Wolsey National Hunt Novices Hurdle at Sandown in Jan 2024 on soft ground over 1m5f to 2m. The gelding, who is by Fame And Glory out of a Bob Back mare, has one win and three places from five turf starts and last ran at Newbury in Nov 2024 where he finished eighth of 13 in a Class 1 handicap off a mark of 128. That was his first run for Gary and Josh Moore. He has never won on good to soft or heavy.

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 118
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 →
