KTB Profile

Paros won both his starts on a first visit to the course, taking a soft-ground event at Dieppe in May 2020 and the Class 3 Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Gateway To Champions Novices Hurdle at Musselburgh in Mar 2021 on good to soft. All two wins from 13 runs came over 1m5f to 2m. The gelding, aged 6 at his last run in Oct 2023, finished 7 of 8 in a Class 4 handicap hurdle at Ludlow off an official rating of 112, 23lb below his highest ever mark of 135. Headgear returned at that last run.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 93 the best of the last 2 graded (A or B) runs · Ludlow, 11 Oct 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 115B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Worcester, 28 Jun 2023 Official rating 112 at the last run, 11 Oct 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.
