Swiss Lightning (GB)
Swiss Lightning won a Class 2 maiden fillies race at Newmarket over 6f-7f on good ground in Apr 2025. The filly, by Night Of Thunder out of a Pivotal mare, has one win and one place from five turf starts, all at 6f-7f. She finished fifth of seven in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket in Aug 2025, her last run, which was off a career-high mark of 78 and in first-time headgear.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 98
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 →
