Il Pirata (IRE)
Il Pirata is a gelding by Hillstar out of the Califet mare Come Home Katie. He has yet to win from six starts on turf, all at 1m5f to 2m4f, and has never placed. His last run, at Sligo in Aug 2026, saw him finish 13 of 16 in a handicap hurdle when he raced off a career-high mark of 91. He has raced at six different courses.

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 →
