Explosive Boy (FR)
Explosive Boy is a maiden who has yet to win from 13 starts on turf though he has placed twice. His best effort came when second of 19 at Cheltenham in Nov 2022. He last ran at Galway in Jul 2024 where he finished 17 of 20 in the Easyfix Handicap Hurdle off an official rating of 107 which was 10lb below his highest ever mark. That run was his first for Mrs C O'Leary.

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 119
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.
