Banks Boy (IRE)
Banks Boy won the Northern Ireland On-Course Bookmakers Association Maiden Hurdle at Down Royal in Jun 2022 on good ground off an official rating of 113. The gelding, who raced nine times on turf between Mar 2021 and Jul 2023, recorded one win and four places from nine starts and reached a highest ever mark of 126. He finished seventh of 12 in the Class 2 Oakmere Homes Handicap Hurdle at Cartmel in Jul 2023, last raced off OR 126 and was beaten favourite on that occasion. All three runs at 1m5f – 2m produced his sole success while six starts at 2m1f – 2m4f brought no wins.

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 115
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 →

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.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
