Montpellier (GB)
Montpellier won two of five starts on turf, both over 6f – 7f on good ground at Class 4 and Class 5 level. Each success came on a first visit to the course, at Thirsk in Apr 2025 and at Newbury in May 2025. The gelding, by Wootton Bassett out of Mabs Cross, last ran at York in Aug 2025 when he finished 10 of 17 in the Sky Bet Mile Handicap, a Class 2 race, off an official rating of 99.

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 101
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 →
