Formal Display (GB)
Formal Display won two of seven starts. Both wins came on a first visit to the course, at Gowran Park over 6f-7f on good ground in Sep 2024 when leading to beat four rivals off an official rating of 91, and at Dundalk over 1m-1m1f on standard going in Nov 2023. The colt, by Too Darn Hot out of a Dansili mare, also placed three times from three runs at Leopardstown and two at the Curragh. His last run, at Gowran Park in Sep 2024, was a win.

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 106
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 →
