Esna

What makes Esna particularly interesting is the momentum. The recent form reads 1-4-1-2 going back through the last four runs, meaning a win, a fourth, a win, and a second — with that most recent victory coming just this week at Newbury on 16 May 2026. Horses that win and then back it up quickly tend to be in the form of their lives, and Esna looks very much in that bracket right now. The career started with a first win at Sandown Park back in September 2025, so this is a horse that has been building steadily and is now hitting its stride as a 3-year-old, which is exactly the age when horses tend to peak and improve most sharply.

Behind Esna is Brian Meehan's yard, which has already sent out 13 winners this season — a healthy total that suggests the whole operation is running well. When a trainer has that kind of momentum, horses in form tend to stay in form. Esna raced just one day ago, so conditions are live and current, and there's every reason to watch closely for what comes next.
