Blinding Light (IRE)
Blinding Light is a gelding by Leading Light out of a Slip Anchor mare who is yet to win from five starts on turf. He has raced at four different courses without placing, contesting trips from 1m5f to 3m on ground ranging from good to heavy. His last run came at Kilbeggan in Jun 2026 off an official rating of 82, which was also his career-high mark.

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 —
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 →
