The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Arlecchino's Rex KTB Selection54/100

    Form 377713 · Mark Usher · Rose Dawes

    Limited performer who has won twice at this track and is 1-2 at today's trip. He showed a bit more when winning a similar race here in December but has been below that level on his last three starts. Trainer has a modest record at Wolverhampton while the jockey does much better at the track.

  2. 2Tiger Beetle49/100

    Form 357835 · Thomas Faulkner · Zoe Lewis(7)

    Tiger Beetle is a limited performer who has been around the block 50 times and rarely gets his head in front. He has won three times here from 17 starts and holds a solid 3-7-23 record on standard going, yet his recent form of 357835 shows he is struggling to land a blow at this level. The yard and jockey both have above-average strike rates at Wolverhampton which helps, while he has been placed once in six starts at today's trip without winning it.

  3. 3Amalou48/100

    Form 980-81 · Daniel & Claire Kubler · Warren Fentiman

    Limited performer who showed some improvement when winning a weak 1m3f handicap here last time but was well held in two previous runs over this trip. The yard has a modest 10% strike-rate at Wolverhampton from 129 runs while the jockey sits on a fair 14% from 95 rides. Course form is limited to one eighth-place finish and the step back up in trip asks a fresh question.

  4. 4Forever Perfect47/100

    Form 230095 · Rebecca Menzies · Owen Lewis(3)

    Limited performer who has won once here over this trip from six starts at the track. Recent form has been poor with no impact in her last three starts and she remains vulnerable in this company. Trainer has a solid record at the course while the jockey is still seeking a first winner here from 32 rides.

  5. 5Ten Sixty Six45/100

    Form 946524 · David O'Meara · Conor Whiteley(3)

    Limited performer who has been placed once in 12 starts this year but has failed to win. He showed little on his only previous visit here and has been beaten on both starts on standard ground. The trip looks a fresh question having tried it just once without success.

  6. 6Skirt Around44/100

    Form 3-8746 · Philip Kirby · Charlie Tucker(7)

    Limited performer who has shown nothing better than modest form in seven starts and looks up against it from a wide draw.

  7. 7This Rib44/100

    Form P05466 · David Loughnane · Ashley Lewis

    This Rib is a limited performer who has failed to place in nine career runs and looks up against it again from a modest handicap mark.

  8. 8Prophet Squeeze41/100

    Form 7R9756 · Barry Murphy · Christian Howarth

    Limited performer who has struggled to make an impact in recent starts and now drops back from 1m6f to a trip he has never tried.

  9. 9Echo That37/100

    Form 00-7 · Patrick Owens · Mason Paetel

    Echo That has shown very little in three runs to date and is rated a limited performer at this level.

  10. 10Project Kinsman33/100

    Form 385350 · Philip Kirby · Tom Kiely-Marshall

    Limited performer who has shown only modest form in ten starts and remains winless.
