Byzantium Lad (IRE)
Byzantium Lad won his only race at Class 4 level, taking the Swifts Wholesale Bakery Maiden Hurdle at Ludlow over 2m5f-3m on heavy ground in Feb 2021. The gelding, by Yeats out of a Glacial Storm mare, raced six times on turf in all, with one place to his name. He last ran at Sedgefield in Nov 2022, finishing sixth of six in a Class 4 handicap chase off an official rating of 115, which was 8lb below his highest ever 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 122
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.
