Classy Boy (IRE)
Classy Boy won two of 15 starts on turf, both in handicaps on his first visit to the course. He took a Class 3 event at Beverley over 6f to 7f on soft ground in Apr 2024 off a mark of 74 and a Class 4 at Carlisle over 1m to 1m1f on good ground in Jul 2024 off 77. The gelding, by Calyx out of Euphrasia, finished 6 of 9 in a Class 4 selling race at Leicester in Oct 2024 on his first run in headgear. He last ran off an official rating of 77.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 86
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.
