Neyva's Angel

The last six races read 1-2-4-–-1-7, which translates to two wins, a second, a fourth, and a blank result sandwiched in between. That is the profile of a horse who has found form and is running well right now. Crucially, both of those wins have come in the last six races, suggesting something has clicked — whether that is fitness, confidence, or simply finding the right opportunities.

The first win came at Southwell in April 2026, and then, just this week, Neyva's Angel followed it up with a victory at Great Yarmouth on 11 June. Winning twice within a couple of months is the kind of momentum that gets a horse noticed. The fact that it raced again just yesterday — a day after that Yarmouth win — shows the team is keeping it busy while it is in this mood.

Here is the quirk worth paying attention to: Neyva's Angel has competed in Class 5 races four times without winning any of them, a record of 0 from 4. Class 5 is one of the lower tiers of racing, which makes it genuinely strange that those wins have come elsewhere. That gap between the horse's class record and its actual winning record suggests it may simply perform better in different conditions or at specific tracks, and Martin Dunne's yard — which has already sent out 20 winners this season — clearly knows how to place a horse to its advantage. Twenty winners in a season from a Newmarket base is a solid operation, and a trainer who knows when and where to run a horse is often the difference between a winner and an also-ran.

At 4 years old and with form pointing upward, Neyva's Angel is worth keeping an eye on.
