KTB Profile

The Dancing Lass is a mare by Norse Dancer out of a Shirocco mare who failed to win in five starts on turf between Oct 2024 and Mar 2025. She raced over 1m5f to 2m4f, mainly on good to soft ground, and was beaten in a Class 5 mares novices handicap hurdle at Southwell in Mar 2025 when finishing sixth of 11. She last ran off a career-high mark of 78 in first-time headgear.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 81 the best of the last 1 graded (A or B) run · Ludlow, 19 Feb 2025

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.

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 90C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Doncaster, 24 Jan 2025 Official rating 78 at the last run, 17 Mar 2025

What the horse achieved in each race, in pounds on the official-rating scale, from the weight carried, the lengths beaten and the race's own level solved across the archive — never the market, never the official rating as a starting point. The headline is the best of the horse's last three rated runs on that code. A, B or C on a run is how much known form was in that race.

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
