Monsieur Azul (GB)
Monsieur Azul is a gelding by Blue Bresil out of a Kayf Tara mare who has yet to win from five starts on turf, with one placing. His best effort came when second of 11 at Gowran Park in Sep 2023. He ran over 2m1f – 2m4f on three of his starts and over 1m5f – 2m on the other two, all on soft or worse going except one run on good. His last run, at Cork in Jul 2024, saw him finish sixth of 15 in a maiden hurdle.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 89
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.
