Northern Tempest
Five races into its career and Northern Tempest is still searching for that first taste of success. The three-year-old has nothing to show in terms of wins or places across all five outings, and the recent form figures — 8, 10, 4, 5, 9 — tell a story of a horse that has occasionally shown a flicker of promise, most notably that fourth-place finish, but has largely struggled to make an impact. Having raced just yesterday, this is a horse very much in the thick of its season.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What works in Northern Tempest's favour is the stable it calls home. Trainer Michael Dods, based at Piercebridge in County Durham, has sent out 43 winners already this season — that is a yard firing on all cylinders. When a trainer is winning at that kind of volume, they tend to know exactly where and when to place a horse to give it the best chance of breaking through. Northern Tempest may simply be waiting for the right opportunity to arrive.
At three years old, there is still time. Not every horse finds its feet immediately, and with a trainer in such good form, it would be premature to write this one off entirely. The next run will be worth watching — not because the form demands optimism, but because a yard with 43 winners this season does not run horses without a plan.
