KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.96).

Deterministic profile computed from 254 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 10 Nov 2026

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=42, Fair A/E 0.00). Dan Skelton supplies 38% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.4%, A/E 0.68). The rider also reads well in Class 4 (14.1%, n=71). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 2.9% over 34 rides, 7.7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good to Soft going: Fair A/E 0.76 across 82 rides (7.3% strike, −58.30 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.6% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 153 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 10 Oct 2026: top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · to 10 Oct 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 Harry Atkins's strike rate?
Harry Atkins has won 27 of 254 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 10 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Harry Atkins ride most for?
Dan Skelton, with 96 rides since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (9.4%).
Is Harry Atkins in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Harry Atkins's Fair A/E?
0.96, from 253 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 10 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
