The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Principality KTB Selection64/100

    Form -01514 · Harry Eustace · Kaiya Fraser

    Principality is a useful performer with a solid recent record that includes two wins from his last five starts. He has won three times at this trip and has shown he can be competitive on good to soft ground, though he is yet to score on it. The trainer holds a strong 24% strike rate here while the jockey remains winless from five rides at the track.

  2. 2Point Of Contact58/100

    Form 6-6184 · Andrew Balding · Oisin Murphy

    Fair performer who has won at this trip and looks well treated on his best efforts. Drops back from 1m1f with first-time headgear and the yard plus jockey both have solid records at Salisbury. Unproven on good to soft though and this is his first run here.

  3. 3Boyfriend56/100

    Form 6-8132 · Richard Hannon · Pat Dobbs

    Useful performer who has run creditably in two starts at this track without placing. Drops back to 1m today having won twice at the distance in the past, though he is unproven on good to soft ground. Both trainer and jockey have solid 12% strike rates at Salisbury.

  4. 4Colourband55/100

    Form -16421 · Simon & Ed Crisford · Rossa Ryan

    Fair performer who has shown consistent form this year, winning twice and finishing second last time out. Has placed on his only previous run here and is proven at this trip, though he has yet to win on good to soft ground. The Crisfords have a solid 20% strike rate at Salisbury while Rossa Ryan's 13% record from 191 rides adds further course know-how.

  5. 5Electric Dreams55/100

    Form 4710 · James Fanshawe · David Egan

    Electric Dreams is a fair 3 year old with a win at this trip from three attempts and a solid recent form line of 4710. He comes from a yard that operates at a steady 18% strike rate here and is ridden by a jockey who matches that with a 16% record at the track. The small amount of racing means the good to soft ground remains an unknown.
