Gentle Fire (GB)
Gentle Fire won two of 21 starts, both over 1m5f – 2m on Standard (AW) at Class 5 and Class 6 level. She gained her first success in the Casumo Bet 10 Get 20 Open NH Flat Race at Lingfield (AW) in Dec 2021 and her second in the Huge Daily Boosts Only At BetUK Handicap at Wolverhampton (AW) in Jan 2023. The mare, by Phoenix Reach out of Pugnacious Lady, was aged 9 at her last run in Jan 2025 when she finished 6 of 8 at Southwell (AW) off an official rating of 42, 11lb below her highest ever mark. Headgear returned 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
Best recent Speed 95
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.
