King Francis (IRE)
King Francis won once from 12 starts, the success coming in a Class 5 handicap at Kempton over 1m2f – 1m4f on Standard going in Apr 2022. All seven all-weather runs produced that sole win while he is 0 from 5 on turf. The gelding, by Le Havre out of a Barathea mare, last ran at Southwell in Mar 2023 when he finished 11 of 11 off an official rating of 74. He had reached a highest ever mark of 78.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 98
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.
