Court of Session

The horse shows a clear preference for races around 1m1f to 1m2f, where he's won 4 of his 22 attempts (18% win rate). That's where he finds his best rhythm, and it's the kind of clue that shapes a trainer's planning. Last month he won at Nottingham on 3 June, his most recent success after four months without a victory — a gap that hints at recent inconsistency. His recent form tells the story: a win sandwiched between a series of mid-field finishes (9th, 9th, 8th, 6th, 8th). He's active right now, having raced just a day ago, so there's still fire in the tank, even if the results haven't been sparkling.

Phil McEntee's Newmarket yard has been prolific this season with 17 winners, and Court of Session remains a member of that operation. Harry Burns, his most frequent rider, has partnered him 7 times for a single win, suggesting the jockey-horse partnership hasn't yet found its groove. At Class 6 level — the lower end of the racing ladder — the horse has won just 1 of 15 races (7%), which speaks to the level at which he's competitive. Court of Session is a stayer-on, a regular racegoer who delivers occasionally and has earned his place in a working yard.
