Falmouth Lad (GB)
Falmouth Lad won three of eight starts between May 2025 and Sep 2025. All three wins came over 1m – 1m1f in handicaps, at Epsom Downs on good to soft, Kempton on standard and Newmarket on good to firm. He won last time out at Epsom Downs in Sep 2025 when he led in the Class 4 Betfred 'The Classic Bookmaker' Handicap off a career-high mark of 76. The gelding, by Kameko out of a Noverre mare, had never run at the course before each of his three victories.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 98
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 →
