Hiaou (FR)
Hiaou won a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in Jan 2022 on soft ground over 1m5f – 2m. The gelding, by Saddler Maker out of Anacapa, won one of eight starts on turf and was placed twice. His last run, at Plumpton in Nov 2023, was his first for Chris Gordon, came in first-time headgear and was off a mark of 130. He last won in Jan 2022.

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 96
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.
