Harry Bentley on Limato in 2016

He was educated at Dorset House School and Eastbourne College.[3]

He won two Group 1s on Limato in 2016 - the July Cup and the Prix de la Forêt - but lost the ride to Ryan Moore for Royal Ascot 2017. He was later reunited with the horse, winning a Group 2 race at Newmarket in October 2017.[2] The same day, he won a Listed race on Chain Of Daisies, leaving him on 59 winners for the season, equalling his total for 2016.[2]

The Racing Post has suggested he would be in the reckoning for a role as retained jockey for one of Flat racing's bigger owners.[2]
