Lion's Mane (GB)
Lion's Mane is a gelding who was yet to win from five starts though he placed twice. His best effort came when second of seven at Chantilly in Sep 2021. He raced on turf and all-weather, over trips from 6f to 1m4f, on good to soft ground. The son of Shamardal out of a Sadler's Wells mare last ran when tenth of 13 in a class 4 handicap at Doncaster in Aug 2023 off an official rating of 79.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 87
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.
