Fireworks (FR)
Fireworks won his only race from 24 starts in the Beverley Annual Badgeholders Novice Stakes at Class 4 level over 6f-7f on good to firm in Aug 2021. The gelding, by Kingman out of a daughter of Arch, has not won since. All three of his placed efforts came on turf. His last run, at Laytown in Sep 2025, saw him finish 9 of 10 off an official rating of 78, 21lb below his highest ever mark.

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 76
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 →
