Stifling (GB)
Stifling is a lightly raced maiden with one place from two starts between Sep 2023 and Dec 2024. By Ulysses out of a Pivotal mare whose produce include Holloway Boy with four wins, she showed promise when leading and finishing second of 12 in a Class 5 novice at Newcastle on standard going in Dec 2024. That effort came on her first attempt at 1m2f to 1m4f having previously raced over 6f to 7f on soft turf at Doncaster.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 100
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 →
