Big Fish (IRE)
Big Fish won a Class 4 maiden hurdle at Exeter over 2m1f – 2m4f on good ground in Oct 2023. The gelding, by Flemensfirth out of a Beat Hollow mare, has one win and two places from six turf starts and last ran off a mark of 115. His last run, at Bangor-on-Dee in Feb 2024, came in a Class 4 handicap hurdle. He has never won on soft or heavy ground.

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 125
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.
