Starzand (IRE)
Starzand is a gelding who has won two of five starts on turf. He won a Class 5 maiden NH flat race at Ffos Las in Mar 2025 on good going over 1m5f – 2m and a Class 4 maiden hurdle at the same course in Oct 2025 on soft going over 2m1f – 2m4f. All four of his placed efforts have come at Ffos Las or Ascot. His last run, at Ascot in Feb 2026, was off an official rating of 127, which matched his highest ever mark.

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 146
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 →
