KTB Profile
Forlano ran eight times between Nov 2022 and May 2025 without winning and placed once. His best effort came when third of eight at Kempton in Feb 2023. The gelding, by Papal Bull out of Floriana, last ran at Plumpton in May 2025 in the Lulu And Peter Mendoza Memorial Handicap Hurdle, a Class 5 event, off an official rating of 85 which was his career-high mark. He wore headgear for the first time 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
KTB Speed
Best recent Speed72the best of the last 1 graded (A or B) run · Kempton, 10 Feb 2023
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 →

What the horse achieved in each race, in pounds on the official-rating scale, from the weight carried, the lengths beaten and the race's own level solved across the archive — never the market, never the official rating as a starting point. The headline is the best of the horse's last three rated runs on that code. A, B or C on a run is how much known form was in that race. 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.
Splits include every sample, however small — muted rows are under 3 runs. A one-from-one record is a fact, not a trend: read the Runs column before the strike rate.
