KTB Profile

Royal Mark is a Manduro gelding who is yet to win from six starts on turf. All six runs came on good ground, five of them at 1m5f to 2m, with his only attempt at 2m1f to 2m4f also producing no placing. He has raced three times at Worcester, once each at Bangor-on-Dee, Huntingdon and Wincanton, and finished 9 of 9 in a Class 4 maiden hurdle at Worcester in May 2026 on his first-time headgear.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 89 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Wincanton, 31 Mar 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 →

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 88A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Bangor-on-Dee, 21 Jun 2025

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.
