Signalman (IRE)
Signalman won one of five starts on turf, the success coming in the Long Shot Summer Seltzer Handicap at Newmarket in Jun 2024 over 1m2f – 1m4f on good to firm going. The gelding, by New Approach out of a Dubawi mare, took that Class 5 handicap at the first time of asking in headgear and last raced off his career-high official rating of 69. He has one win and one place from four runs at 1m2f – 1m4f.

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 102
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.
