KTB Profile

Saxon Cross is a maiden who has shown one placed effort from eight starts on turf. He finished second of nine at Perth in Aug 2025 and has otherwise failed to trouble the judge, including when tenth of 12 at Market Rasen in Jul 2026 on his first run in headgear. The gelding, by Saxon Warrior out of an Arcano mare, was held up in that Class 4 handicap off an official rating of 99, which matched his career-high mark. All his runs have come on good ground over trips from 1m5f to 2m4f.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 108 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Worcester, 5 Sep 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 113B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Uttoxeter, 2 May 2026 Official rating 99 at the last run, 18 Jul 2026

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 — its best recent day. The KTB Rating on a racecard is a different reading of the same figures: the level the horse has been running to, an average of up to its last six runs with the latest counting most, so the two can differ. 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.
