Land Afar (IRE)
Land Afar won two of 12 starts on turf. Both wins came on a first visit to the course, at Ludlow in the Class 4 CM Bespoke Care Ltd Novices Claiming Hurdle over 1m5f to 2m on good to soft in Dec 2024 off an official rating of 123, and at Ballinrobe in the Jennings Meats Flat Race over 2m1f to 2m4f on good in May 2022. The gelding, by Kalanisi out of an Aristocracy mare, last ran at Uttoxeter in Jun 2025 off 112, 11lb below his highest ever mark.

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 122
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 →
