Novamay

There's a straightforward appeal to Novamay: a four-year-old with three wins from 15 races, she wins roughly 1 in every 5 times she lines up, which is a solid return at her level. Trained by Michael Dods out of Piercebridge in County Durham — a yard that has sent out 43 winners already this season — she is clearly a horse in good hands and in a stable operating with real momentum right now.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Her record on normal ground is where the story gets interesting. Three wins from seven races on a standard surface works out at 43%, meaning she wins nearly 1 in every 2 times conditions are in her favour. That is a striking number, and it tells you she is not just a horse that occasionally gets lucky — on the ground she likes, she is genuinely competitive. Strip that away and she is a different proposition entirely, so ground conditions matter enormously when assessing her chances.

Most of her racing has come at Class 6 level, which is the entry-level tier of British racing. Two wins from six races there — a win rate of 33%, or 1 in 3 — suggests she is better than average for that company without necessarily dominating it. Her first win came at Ripon in July 2025, and she followed that up with another victory at Windsor later the same month, showing she could back it up rather than fluke a single result. That said, her most recent recorded finish was a ninth, and her regular rider Connor Beasley has yet to win aboard her in six attempts together — a combination that, on paper at least, hasn't clicked.

She raced just one day ago, so she is right in the thick of her season. The pattern to watch is simple: find her on normal ground at a track she fancies, and Novamay has shown enough to suggest she is worth a second look.
