KTB Profile
Epic Express won six of 49 starts with all wins in handicaps. Five of those came at 6f to 7f and four on standard AW going while the other two turf successes were at Newmarket on good ground in May 2023 and at Yarmouth on good to firm in April 2022. The gelding, who was aged 6 at his last run in Nov 2024, finished 9 of 10 at Lingfield on that occasion.

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
KTB Speed
Best recent Speed 110
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.
