His recent form tells you he is in decent nick right now. Reading the last six runs from most recent backwards — 11th, 4th, a blank, 6th, 3rd, 1st — there is a dip in the middle, but that winning run in December and the placed effort before it suggest he is not a horse on the slide. His last win came at Wolverhampton on 13 December 2025, around four months ago, which on this evidence means another one could be coming sooner rather than later.
The trainer here is Mark Loughnane, based at Rock Farm in Worcestershire, and it has been a productive season for the yard — 26 winners sent out already, which is a healthy return for an operation at this level. The jockey most associated with King Of Speed is Billy Loughnane, who has ridden him in 20 of his races and won three of them — a win rate of 15%, or roughly 1 in every 7 rides together. That is noticeably better than King Of Speed's overall career average, which suggests the partnership works.
Where this horse really comes alive is on normal ground — not too wet, not too dry, just standard conditions. Four of his five career wins have come on that surface, at a rate of 1 win in every 7 races on it. He races almost exclusively at Class 6 level, the entry level of British Flat racing, and has won 5 from 38 races there — about 1 in 8. That is his world, and he knows it well. His very first win came at Leicester back in May 2023, and he has been plugging away reliably ever since. Not a horse that will headline a big day at Ascot, but the sort you would happily back each way when the ground comes up right.
