Mayaada

Both wins have come on normal ground, where Mayaada has won 2 from 7 races — a 29% win rate that leaps off the page compared to its overall record. When the ground rides on the fast side or turns heavy and churned up, the results dry up. That information alone is worth storing away.

The headline moment so far came at Epsom Downs on 25 August 2025 — a Class 2 race, meaning one of the better contests you will find in British racing outside the very top tier. Epsom is a notoriously tricky track, a switchback of a course that has undone many horses far more experienced than a three-year-old, so winning there at that level is a result to be taken seriously. At distances between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs, Mayaada has won 1 from 5 races, and it is at those middle distances where the horse seems most at home.

Trained by Ollie Sangster from a yard based in Marlborough, Wiltshire — a team that has already sent out 46 winners this season, which is a strong and busy operation — Mayaada heads into its next race in solid recent form. The last six outings read 4-2-4-10-1-2, with that solitary double-figure finish sitting in amongst two wins and three top-four efforts. That blip aside, the overall picture is of a horse running at a high level and finding its way. With the most recent win coming just seven weeks ago at Salisbury and another race completed only yesterday, this is a horse very much in the thick of its season, and on the right ground, it remains one to watch.
