KTB Profile

Bo Cruz is a gelding who has won two of ten starts over jumps, both in Class 5 handicaps on soft ground. He took a Catterick handicap chase over 3m in Jan 2026 off 93 and followed up at Wetherby over 2m5f-3m in Feb 2026 off 100. Ridden with patience, he was held up when finishing second of five in a Class 3 handicap at Bangor-on-Dee in Mar 2026, last raced off his career-high mark of 110.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 92 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Catterick, 30 Jan 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 138A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Wetherby, 26 Feb 2026 Official rating 110 at the last run, 21 Mar 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 — its best recent day. The KTB Rating on a racecard is a different reading of the same figures: the level the horse has been running to, an average of up to its last six runs with the latest counting most, so the two can differ. 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.
