Mayor Of Maghera

The Scottish horse, trained by R Mike Smith's Galston yard, also thrives on normal ground conditions, winning two of its seven races on standard terrain — a 29 per cent win rate that suggests it does not handle either extreme of the weather. Its preferred distances are the middle mile-and-a-furlong to mile-and-two-furlong range, where it has notched up both those wins from thirteen attempts. Recent form has been patchy. The last six races show a fifth place, a tenth, a sixth, a seventh, a win, and a fourth, suggesting inconsistency, though that victory came just over a week ago. Rowan Scott, who rides the horse regularly, has partnered it to one win from six races together. The horse remains active and in regular racing, so there is every chance it will get another chance to exploit its Musselburgh advantage before the season moves on.
