Fighting Chance (GB)
Fighting Chance is a maiden who won none of 28 starts and placed once. His best effort came when third of 12 at Newcastle (AW) in Oct 2023. All 20 runs on the all-weather brought no win, while his eight turf starts were equally fruitless. The gelding, aged 5 at his last run in Apr 2024, finished 12th of 12 at Wolverhampton (AW) in a Class 6 handicap off an official rating of 45.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 81
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.
