Pencil (IRE)
Pencil finished placed once from 13 starts on turf between Feb 2022 and Jun 2024. His best effort came when third of nine at Bangor-on-Dee in Oct 2023. The gelding, by Retirement Plan out of a Tidaro mare, raced at up to 3m and never won on good or softer ground. He last ran in a Class 5 handicap chase at Southwell in Jun 2024 off an official rating of 71, 12lb below his highest ever mark.

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 90
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.
