Spells At Dawn (IRE)
Spells At Dawn won one of eight starts at Class 5 level, the success coming at Beverley over 6f-7f on good to firm in May 2022. The gelding, by Dawn Approach out of a Dubawi mare, has not won since. All three turf runs produced that win while he went 0 from five on the all-weather. Aged 4 at his last run in Sep 2023 at Newcastle he raced off a mark of 67.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 103
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.
