Big Jim Beam (IRE)
Big Jim Beam won his only bumper at Wincanton in Nov 2022 in a Class 5 race over 1m5f – 2m on good to firm ground. The gelding, by Westerner out of a Hawk Wing mare, has since been placed once from four starts over jumps. He last ran at Hereford in May 2024 off an official rating of 94, which was also his career-high mark. All five runs have been on turf.

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 143
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.
