KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (258 rides). Rides mostly for Sam England — 63% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Cartmel (20.3%, n=133), clear of the rider's 11.9% baseline. It is weakest at Huntingdon (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.3% (n=258, Fair A/E 0.98), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.1% (n=217, Fair A/E 0.82). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.80 and −240.26 to a £1 stake over 396 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Sam England supplies 63% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (13.3%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20.8%, n=72). The record reads poorly in NH Flat races — 3% over 66 rides, 8.9pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the William Hill Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase at Wetherby (Dec 2013, £22,887). The standout partner of the record: Kinondo Kwetu (GB) — 9 wins from 26 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.9% 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 469 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 9 times. 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

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 7 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 7 runs (won 2) · to 13 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 Jonathan England's strike rate?
Jonathan England has won 254 of 2,129 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.9% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jonathan England do best at?
Cartmel by strike rate: 27 wins from 133 rides (20.3%) since 2008. 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 Jonathan England ride most for?
Sam England, with 1,335 rides since 2008 — 63% of the total. That pairing has won 178 (13.3%).
Is Jonathan England in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 12 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Jonathan England's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 2,127 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. 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 15 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
