The Rain King (IRE)
The Rain King won two of 25 starts, both over 1m – 1m1f on turf. He took a Class 5 handicap at Windsor on good ground in May 2022 off an official rating of 68 and a maiden at Galway on soft ground in August 2020. The gelding, by No Nay Never out of a Sadlers Wells mare, raced 18 times at different courses and reached a highest ever mark of 94. He finished 7 of 9 at Windsor in May 2025.

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 115
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 →
