Scherbobalob (GB)
Scherbobalob won one of 18 starts, the success coming in a Class 4 handicap hurdle at Ludlow in Apr 2023 over 1m5f to 2m on good to soft. The gelding, who raced on turf and all-weather, has not won since. All five runs at Ludlow produced that one win. He finished fifth of 15, having raced prominently, at Hereford in Dec 2024 when last seen off a mark of 94.

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 83
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.
