KTB Profile

Banged Up is a gelding by Without Parole out of a Danehill Dancer mare who has shown no wins from five starts on turf. He placed once when finishing second of 10 in a Class 6 nursery at Leicester in Oct 2026, his best effort to date. That run came off an official rating of 61, which is 2 lb below his highest ever mark, and was his first time in headgear. He has raced over 6f to 1m1f on good to firm and good to soft going.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 66 the best of the last 2 graded (A or B) runs · Epsom, 30 Jul 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 72A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Leicester, 13 Oct 2026 Official rating 61 at the last run, 13 Oct 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. 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.
