He raced off a mark of 112 at Plumpton in Apr 2025, 8lb below his highest ever mark of 120. The gelding, aged 8 at his last run in Apr 2025, was prominent when last seen in a Class 4 handicap chase. All his turf runs came on that surface.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 105 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Sandown, 13 Feb 2025

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.

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 110B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Taunton, 27 Feb 2025 Official rating 112 at the last run, 20 Apr 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. A, B or C on a run is how much known form was in that race.

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.
