KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 280 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.90). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (107 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Hereford (14.7%, n=68) and Huntingdon (15.2%, n=33) — all clear of the rider's 7.5% baseline. It is weakest at Stratford (0% over 56 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.1% (n=107, Fair A/E 0.80), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.7% (n=185, Fair A/E 0.73). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 0 from 16 rides in the last 14 days (0%, 7.5pts below the 7.5% baseline). Jane Williams supplies 21% of the rides and beats the rider's average (13.9% vs 7.5%, A/E 1.00) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well in Class 3 (12.7%, n=166). 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Dec 2019, £73,151). The standout partner of the record: Mr Clarkson (IRE) — 5 wins from 19 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Nov–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.5% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 60.4% of the archive so far (as at 9 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 9 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 13 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 3 runs (won 0) · to 6 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is David Noonan's strike rate?
David Noonan has won 106 of 1,421 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.5% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does David Noonan do best at?
Hereford by strike rate: 10 wins from 68 rides (14.7%) since 2022. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.
Which yard does David Noonan ride most for?
Jane Williams, with 302 rides since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 42 (13.9%).
Is David Noonan in form?
In the last 14 days: 16 rides, 0 winners, a strike rate of 0%. That is below the baseline of 7.5% since 2022.
What is David Noonan's Fair A/E?
0.90, from 1,420 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 9 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
