KTB Profile

Hidden Law won two of three starts between Mar 2024 and May 2024. The colt landed the Group 3 Boodles Chester Vase Stakes at Chester in May 2024 on good ground and the Class 2 Darley Confined Maiden at Newbury the previous month on good to soft, both over 1m2f – 1m4f. He won both turf starts and was placed on his only AW run at Southwell. Each win came on a first visit to the course.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 106 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Chester, 8 May 2024

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 Rating 107B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Chester, 8 May 2024

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. 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.
