Introduction
Harry William Meyrick Bentley (born June 1992) is a British jockey. He is retained rider for Qatar Racing and has been multiple champion jockey in Qatar.
He was educated at Dorset House School and Eastbourne College.
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. 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.
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.
