Hernan Cortes (FR)
Hernan Cortes won the Prix de l'Hotel de Ville at Longchamp in Jun 2023, a handicap over 1m – 1m1f on good to soft. The gelding is 1 from 20 overall, with six places, and all his wins have come on turf where he is 1 from 9. His last run, at Deauville in Dec 2025, was his first for the yard and saw headgear return when he finished fourth of 16. He has never won on the all-weather.

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 →

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.
