Nakano ran ten times without a win or a place between Oct 2022 and Nov 2023. Her best effort came when she finished fourth of eight at Newmarket in May 2023. The filly, by Saxon Warrior out of a Montjeu mare, raced over 1m2f – 1m4f on eight of those starts and was beaten on good ground four times. She finished eighth of ten in a Class 6 handicap at Wolverhampton on the AW in Nov 2023 when last raced off an official rating of 60, 13lb below her highest ever mark, with headgear returning.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 85 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Wolverhampton (AW), 13 Nov 2023

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 →

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 75A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Thirsk, 18 Aug 2023 Official rating 60 at the last run, 13 Nov 2023

What the horse achieved in each race, in pounds on the official-rating scale, from the weight carried, the lengths beaten and the race's own level solved across the archive — never the market, never the official rating as a starting point. The headline is the best of the horse's last three rated runs on that code. A, B or C on a run is how much known form was in that race. 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.
