Optical Girl (GB)
Optical Girl ran six times between Apr 2021 and May 2022 without winning or placing. Her best effort came when she finished 4 of 10 at Chepstow in Mar 2022. The mare, by Telescope out of a Midnight Legend mare, raced exclusively on turf over trips from 1m5f to 2m4f and reached an official rating of 86 at her last run, in a Class 5 handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee in May 2022.

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 70
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.
