Menuisier snaps up Fentiman for Lincoln contender

David Menuisier has snapped up the weighing room’s rising star Warren Fentiman for Toimy Son in Saturday’s William Hill Lincoln.
Fentiman, 16, is the son of fellow jockey Duran Fentiman, who is currently sidelined with a broken leg, and has created a real impression through the winter on the all-weather.
Toimy Son won the Golden Mile at Goodwood before going on to be placed in the Cambridgeshire and run well in the Balmoral at Ascot.
“Last year was great, from Goodwood to the Cambridgeshire and Ascot even on Champions Day was a huge run,” said Menuisier, who won the Lincoln two years ago with Migration under 3lb claimer Benoit de la Sayette.
“With the help of Warren claiming 5lb, if all goes according to plan, he should run a good race.

“I don’t have too many all-weather runners in the winter, but I was told a while ago that he was shaping up as the best apprentice in the country and I actually booked him six weeks ago!
“He’s got a very impressive strike-rate for an apprentice and it looks as if he’s going to be the next big kid.
“He’s an impressive young lad, he speaks well, he’s articulate and he rides very good, so hopefully we have some luck on our side. I’m delighted to have him on board.”
Menuisier also has Tribal Chief and Promethean engaged, but the best both could hope for is a run in the consolation Spring Mile.
“The plan is to run Promethean in the Spring Mile. Tribal Chief will wait for the Spring Cup at Newbury as that is only two weeks after this year, so I’ve decided to keep him for that,” said the Pulborough handler.
