KTB Profile

Cheesy Icon is a maiden who has placed three times from eight starts on turf, all over 1m5f – 2m. He has never won on good, good to soft or heavy ground. Typically held up, he led when finishing second of four in a Class 4 novices handicap chase at Southwell in Oct 2026, his best effort to date. The gelding last ran off an official rating of 116, which was also his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 133 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Southwell, 16 Dec 2024

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 139A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Chepstow, 27 Dec 2025 Official rating 116 at the last run, 13 Oct 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. 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.
