Covey (GB)
Covey won three of six starts between April and May 2023, including the Betfred Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock on good to firm over 1m to 1m1f off an official rating of 90. Each win came on a first visit to the course. The colt, by Frankel out of a Pivotal mare, finished 11 of 11 at York in the Class 1 Sky Bet City Of York Stakes in Aug 2023 when last raced off his career-high mark of 100. 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 102
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 →

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.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
