Kessaar Power

Trained by Phil McEntee out of Newmarket, Suffolk, Kessaar Power competes mostly at the lower end of the sport's class structure, the level where most races are decided by small margins and fine form. The yard has been in decent shape this season, sending out 20 winners, and Kessaar Power contributed to that tally with a win at Chelmsford as recently as October 2025 — just five months ago. That's the same track where the horse claimed its first career victory back in March 2023, which gives Chelmsford something of a special significance in this horse's story.

The distance that brings out the best is somewhere between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs. Over that range, Kessaar Power has won 2 of 16 races — 12% — which sounds modest until you compare it to the overall career win rate of 7%. It's a meaningful difference, the kind that tells you the horse has a specific sweet spot, and trainers and jockeys worth their salt will always be hunting for exactly that.

J F Egan has ridden this horse more than anyone else, partnering up 21 times for 2 wins — roughly 1 in every 10 rides together. That's a working partnership built over time, and when the two combine at the right trip on the right day, the results have come. Kessaar Power also has 15 placed finishes in 56 races, meaning it has finished in the money more than a third of the time — a horse that often runs respectably even when the win doesn't arrive.

After a short break of 36 days, Kessaar Power is likely to return fresh. The recent form shows a win six runs back followed by a patchy sequence, but there are enough places in that record — a sixth, a fourth — to suggest the horse hasn't gone off the boil entirely. This isn't a horse for the highlight reel, but it's the kind of reliable, experienced competitor that makes the sport go round.
