KTB Profile

Christopher Wood won seven of 46 starts between Jun 2017 and Apr 2025. His biggest success came in the bet365 Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh in Feb 2021 when he took a Class 2 handicap hurdle off an official rating of 143 over 1m5f – 2m on soft ground. He also landed a Class 3 handicap hurdle at the same track the previous year and scored four times on soft or good to soft going overall. The gelding, aged 10 at his last run in Apr 2025, finished third of eight in a Class 4 handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot off a mark of 118.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 121 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Newton Abbot, 19 Apr 2025

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 →

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 →
