Smooth Silesie

The standout number, though, is at Great Yarmouth, where Smooth Silesie has won all three races it has ever run there. Three from three. That is not a coincidence — that is a horse that simply thrives at that venue, whether it's the long, flat straight, the way the ground rides there, or something about the particular draw of stalls. Whatever the reason, Lisa Williamson's yard clearly knows it, and it last added to that tally as recently as October 2025. Williamson trains out of Kelsall in Cheshire and has sent out 6 winners this season already, so this is a yard in decent form.

On fast, dry ground the horse is even more dangerous — it has won 2 of just 4 races in those conditions, which is a 50% win rate, or one in every two attempts. That is a genuinely striking number. On normal ground it wins roughly 1 in every 3 races (4 from 13), which is well above its overall average of roughly 1 in every 5 or 6. Wet, muddy conditions are clearly best avoided.

Jack Mitchell is the jockey who knows this horse best, having ridden it 9 times and won on 3 of those occasions — a win rate of 33%, or 1 in 3, which comfortably beats the horse's overall average and suggests the partnership brings something out in Smooth Silesie. Most of its racing comes at Class 5 level, the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, where it has won 5 of 27 races.

Recent form shows a win last time out, a sixth-place finish before that, and a mix of placed efforts — the horse raced just five days ago and is clearly being kept busy. With Great Yarmouth coming back into season and dry summer ground on the horizon, Smooth Silesie is exactly the kind of horse worth keeping an eye on.
