Celtic Champion (GB)
Celtic Champion won two of ten starts all at 6f to 7f. He took a Class 4 novice at Salisbury on good to firm in Aug 2022 and a Class 3 handicap at Lingfield on standard going the following Feb. Each win came on a first visit to the course. The gelding aged 3 at his last run in Oct 2023 finished third of ten in a Class 4 handicap at Kempton off a mark of 85 and was beaten favourite that day.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 114
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.
