Melting Snow
Melting Snow got off the mark this week with a win at Wolverhampton, finally breaking through after five earlier races without success. The 3-year-old, trained by
Ed Dunlop's Newmarket yard, has shown real improvement over middle distances, where the horse has won one of its last three races at around 1m1f to 1m2f — a strong win rate of roughly one in three at that trip.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's most recent form has been encouraging. After racing just yesterday, Melting Snow's last six outings show a second-place finish, then a fourth, then a sixth, fifth, and eighth before this week's breakthrough. That second place came at a crucial moment, suggesting the horse was getting close to winning before finally doing so. With two further places from its six career races, Melting Snow has now tasted success and earned enough prize money to show it belongs in competitive company. Ed Dunlop's yard has sent 39 winners out this season, and while Melting Snow is still finding its feet at three, the early signs suggest it could become a regular scorer over the right distance and ground.
