Funky Sensation (GB)
Funky Sensation is a maiden who was yet to win from ten starts on turf. He raced at distances from 1m5f to over 3m, on good to soft and softer ground, without placing. His best effort came when fourth of eight in a Class 5 hunters chase at Cheltenham in May 2024, off an official rating of 97 which was 10lb below his highest ever mark. The gelding, by Black Sam Bellamy out of a Shardari mare, was trained by Mrs Helen Bament at that last run.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 91
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.
