Imperial Ace (IRE)
Imperial Ace won two of his seven starts, both on all-weather at trips of 1m to 1m1f. He took a Class 5 novice at Southwell on standard going in Jan 2023 and a Class 4 novice at Newcastle on standard going later that month. The gelding, by Lope De Vega out of a Noverre mare, finished second of 11 in a Class 3 handicap at Chelmsford City in Aug 2023 off a mark of 88. Each win came on a first visit to the course.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 109
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.
