Secret Artist (IRE)
Secret Artist was a maiden over hurdles with one place from eight starts on turf. His best effort came when second of 12 at Punchestown in Feb 2022. The gelding, by Shirocco out of a Saddlers Hall mare, raced on good to soft, soft and heavy ground without success and last ran in the Paul Byron Shoes Handicap Hurdle at Roscommon in Aug 2023 off an official rating of 100. He reached a highest ever mark of 102.

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 92
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.
