KTB Profile
Not Simple is a filly who won one of 12 starts, the success coming in a handicap at Cork in Sep 2025 over 6f-7f on soft ground off an official rating of 51. She has raced five times at Cork for that sole win and has been held up in four of seven analysed runs. Her last run, at Leopardstown in Jul 2026, was off an official rating of 55 when she finished 16 of 22 in the Mervue Equine Handicap. She has never won on all-weather.
Based on 12 archived runs · run-style from 7 commented runs · updated 18 Oct 2026
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
KTB Speed
Best recent Speed84the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Dundalk (AW), 3 Dec 2025
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 →

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.
