Tactical Affair (FR)
Tactical Affair won three of 16 starts on turf. Two of those wins came in handicaps over 2m1f – 2m4f on good ground at Bangor-on-Dee and Stratford in May and June 2025, both for Warren Greatrex, while the first success was in a maiden hurdle over 1m5f – 2m on soft at Cork in Nov 2023. The gelding, aged 6 at his last run in Jun 2025, led to win a Class 4 novices handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee off an official rating of 109, 18 lb below 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 96
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 →
