Shades of Spare Parts as bargain-buy Inshaa scores for McEntee

All-weather sensation Spare Parts might be off on his holidays but trainer Phil McEntee may just have found an able deputy after Inshaa made his stable debut a winning one in the 7f handicap.

The story of Spare Parts, bought for 2,000gns to join McEntee in December before rattling off seven wins between January and March, was the stuff of legend over the winter and it was hard not to draw comparisons as Inshaa opened his account at the 29th time of asking, just ten days after McEntee claimed him for £3,000 at Southwell.

A 210,000gns yearling from Tattersalls Book 1 in 2013, Inshaa was starting life for McEntee officially rated 45, having been placed in handicap company off 66 last year and he could be a busy boy over the next few weeks as he tries to follow Spare Parts’ lead.
