Catch Fire (GB)
Catch Fire is a gelding by Sea The Stars out of a Dubawi mare and has yet to win from six starts. He has raced on turf and all-weather without success, with all runs over 1m2f – 2m4f and four of them on soft ground. His last run, at Gowran Park in Apr 2026, saw him finish 9 of 9 after racing prominently in the Gowranpark.ie Handicap off an official rating of 72, 18lb below his highest ever mark. Headgear returned that day.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 40
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 →
