Female Approach (IRE)
Female Approach won both her races in June 2021, a Limerick Racecourse Handicap and the La Bucca Restaurants Handicap at Fairyhouse, both over 1m2f – 1m4f on good or good to firm ground off marks of 55 and 54. The mare, by Camelot out of a New Approach mare, has two wins from 33 starts overall with both on turf. She finished 8 of 9 at Perth in Aug 2023 in a Class 5 handicap hurdle, last raced off OR 90 which was 12lb below her highest ever mark, and headgear returned that day.

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 111
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.
