Es Perfecto (IRE)
Es Perfecto is a gelding who has won five of 21 starts on turf. He gained all his wins in handicaps or novice hurdles between 2m1f and 3m on good or good to soft going, most recently in the Virgin Bet Handicap Chase at Kempton in Mar 2026 when taking a Class 3 event off an official rating of 129. The Shirocco gelding had earlier scored at the same track in Nov 2024 and at Sandown in Feb 2025, both in Class 3 handicap chases. He has won at four different courses.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 120
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 →
