Myal

The career numbers tell a similarly impressive story. Seven wins and 10 places from 20 races, with a win rate of 35% — that means Myal wins roughly 1 in every 3 races it enters, which at the top end of the sport is genuinely exceptional. Most of those wins have come in Class 2 races, which are among the better contests in Britain, so this is not a horse padding its record against weak opposition. Two wins from 7 races at Class 2 level (29%) might sound modest, but those are competitive fields filled with proven horses, and Myal keeps finding a way to the front.

Add wet or muddy ground into the equation and Myal becomes even more dangerous. In those conditions, the record reads 2 wins from just 3 attempts — 67%, or two out of every three tries. That is the kind of stat that makes trainers and jockeys quietly confident when the rain arrives. Steph Hollinshead, who trains the horse from her yard in Upper Longdon, Staffordshire, has had a productive season overall — seven winners sent out — and Myal has clearly been a central part of that.

Recent form shows a horse that has been consistently in the picture. Over the last six runs, the sequence reads seventh, second, first, fifth, second, sixteenth — a mixed picture, but with two podium finishes and a win in there. That win came at Thirsk in April 2026 and was the most recent of the seven career victories. Before that, Myal had won at Chester and Haydock in the spring of 2025, both Class 2 contests, suggesting this is a horse that steps up rather than fades when the races get serious.

Regular jockey David Allan has been aboard for 6 of Myal's races and won 2 of them — a 33% win rate, or 1 in every 3 rides together. That partnership is clearly working, and with Myal having raced just one day ago, there is plenty more to come from this horse.
