Kessaar Power

The Phil McEntee yard has been in decent form this season, sending out 17 winners, and Kessaar Power has been a regular part of that operation. J F Egan knows this horse better than most, having ridden it 21 times and steering it to 2 of its 4 career wins — a 10% win rate together, which is meaningfully better than the horse's overall record and suggests the partnership brings something out in it.

The sweet spot is a trip between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs. At those distances, Kessaar Power has won 2 from 16 races — 12% — which doesn't sound dramatic until you compare it to the 6% win rate across the 33 races it has run at Class 6 level. In other words, get the distance right and this horse is roughly twice as likely to win. That's the kind of detail that matters when you're trying to read a race.

Most of Kessaar Power's best days have come at Chelmsford, an all-weather track in Essex that runs year-round. The first career win came there in March 2023, and the most recent — and most significant — came back at the same venue on 16 October 2025, eight months ago now. Since that win, the last six races have returned a 6-8-6-4-5-9 sequence: placed once, out of the frame five times. The form is patchy, but the horse raced just one day ago, so the yard are clearly keeping it busy and looking for the right opportunity to find the front again.

At its level, Kessaar Power is a reliable, consistent presence — not a star, but the sort of horse that makes a yard function. Catch it at the right distance on a track it knows, and there's always a chance.
