Centurion Steel (IRE)
Centurion Steel won twice from 24 starts on turf, both over 2m5f – 3m, at Tramore on soft ground in Jun 2021 and at Downpatrick on good ground in May 2021. The gelding, by Kayf Tara out of a Beyssac mare, reached a highest ever mark of 117 but last ran off 100. He led before finishing 7 of 8 in the Slievenamon Claiming Hurdle at Clonmel in Oct 2024, with headgear returning that day.

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 211
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 →
