Slievegar won once from 10 starts over jumps, the success coming in a Class 3 hunters chase at Kelso over 3m on good to firm ground in May 2023. The gelding, by Westerner out of a Sadlers Wells mare, has not won since. He finished fourth of five after leading at Stratford in Jul 2025 when last raced off OR 98, 10lb below his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 96 the best of the last 1 graded (A or B) run · Cheltenham, 5 May 2023

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 105B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Newton Abbot, 24 Jun 2025 Official rating 98 at the last run, 13 Jul 2025

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. 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.
