Classic Speed (IRE)
Classic Speed is 2 from 24, both wins at Class 6 level in handicaps over 1m – 1m1f on Standard (AW) at Kempton (AW). The gelding has never won on turf from 12 starts. He usually led, as he did when finishing 8 of 8 at Lingfield (AW) in Jan 2026, last raced off OR 55 which was 20lb below his highest ever mark. Headgear returned at that run.

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 87
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 →
