Tactical Formation (IRE)
Tactical Formation is a gelding by Starman out of a Bahamian Bounty mare who has yet to win from five starts though he has placed once. His best effort came when third of nine at Southwell over 6f-7f on the AW in Nov 2025. He last ran at Thirsk in Jun 2026, finishing 10th of 11 in a Class 5 handicap off an official rating of 71, which was his first run for Richard and Peter Fahey. He has raced on turf and all-weather.

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 72
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 →
