KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 470 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (212 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 2 winners in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Hamilton (17.5%, n=103), clear of the rider's 9.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17% (n=212, Fair A/E 1.12), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 3.6% (n=56, Fair A/E 0.79). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 9.6% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.22 and +7.84 to a £1 stake over 303 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 2 from 33 rides in the last 14 days (6.1%, 3.3pts below the 9.4% baseline). Nigel Tinkler supplies 24% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.2%, A/E 0.86). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Sky Bet Stayers Handicap at York (Aug 2023, £51,540). The standout partner of the record: Isla Kai (IRE) — 6 wins from 24 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.4% 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.

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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 1 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 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 12 runs (won 2, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 5 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 0) · to 31 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 Rowan Scott's strike rate?
Rowan Scott has won 221 of 2,348 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.4% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Rowan Scott do best at?
Hamilton by strike rate: 18 wins from 103 rides (17.5%) 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 Rowan Scott ride most for?
Nigel Tinkler, with 572 rides since 2022 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 47 (8.2%).
Is Rowan Scott in form?
In the last 14 days: 33 rides, 2 winners, a strike rate of 6.1%. That is below the baseline of 9.4% since 2022.
What is Rowan Scott's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 2,332 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 1 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
