KTB Profile
Hermes Du Gouet won one of 14 starts, the success coming in a Class 4 maiden hurdle at Exeter over 1m5f to 2m on heavy ground in Jan 2023. The gelding, who was aged 8 at his last run in Feb 2025, finished 7 of 13 at Ffos Las in a Class 5 handicap chase, having raced prominently off an official rating of 100. That mark was 20lb below his highest ever mark of 120. All his turf runs have come on soft or heavier ground.

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 Speed120the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Wincanton, 16 Apr 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 →

KTB Rating
Best recent KTB Rating108Cthe best of the last 3 rated runs · Fontwell, 18 Mar 2024Official rating 100at the last run, 6 Feb 2025
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 — its best recent day. The KTB Rating on a racecard is a different reading of the same figures: the level the horse has been running to, an average of up to its last six runs with the latest counting most, so the two can differ. 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.
