Little Earl (IRE)
Little Earl won the EBF Maiden Stakes at Catterick in May 2021 on soft ground over under 6f. The gelding, who was aged 4 at his last run in Jun 2023, has one win and two places from 16 starts overall with all wins at Class 5. He has never scored over 6f to 7f or on the all-weather surface from five runs. His last run at Carlisle in Jun 2023 saw him finish 9 of 9 in a Class 6 handicap off an official rating of 60 which was 33lb 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 92
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.
