Maywedance

Kempton Park is another obvious strength. The horse has won twice at the Surrey track from nine races there, making it the strongest course in Maywedance's record. The last of those victories came on 20 May 2026, five months ago, which also represents the most recent win. Since then, Maywedance has raced six times without finding the winner's enclosure again, though it has finished in the top 3 twice in that stretch—a reminder that form is still reasonably solid even during a lean spell.

John O'Shea's Gloucestershire yard has done the groundwork here. The trainer operates a relatively modest operation (6 winners sent out this season), and Maywedance represents steady, honest work rather than any grand ambition. The horse typically competes at the lowest level of racing, with just 1 win from 8 Class 6 races, a frankly difficult win rate. Kieran O'Neill, the regular pilot, has piloted Maywedance to 1 win from 5 rides together (20%), a better return than the horse manages overall. The horse's preference for a specific trip—between a mile three furlongs and a mile four furlongs—should guide entry decisions, and any future win is more likely to come on heavy ground in the colder months than anywhere else. Right now, after racing just yesterday, Maywedance remains an active part of the yard's plans, even if it remains one of the harder horses to get back in the winner's circle.
