Sambucus (GB)
Sambucus won one of six starts, the success coming in a Class 5 handicap at Newcastle over 1m2f – 1m4f on Standard going. The filly, by Lope De Vega out of Black Cherry, had raced exclusively on turf before that run and showed prominent form to take the Extra Winnings With BetUK Acca Club Handicap in Nov 2024. She last ran off an official rating of 68, having reached a career-high mark of 75.

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 85
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 →
