Northern Air

At seven years old, Northern Air has taken its time finding the winner's enclosure, but it has shown enough consistency to keep the yard — sorry, to keep the yard interested. From nine races in total, it has one win and four placed finishes, meaning it has come away with some reward from half its races even when the win has proved elusive. That's a respectable record for a horse operating at this level, even if the 11% win rate — roughly one win every nine races — tells you this isn't an easy horse to win with.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That sole victory came at Taunton in January 2025, and it remains the high point of Northern Air's career so far. Fifteen months have passed since then, which is a long gap to chase, though the horse has clearly stayed active and competitive in the meantime. The recent form reads 2–4–4–1, showing a horse that keeps turning up and filling places even when it can't quite get back to the top step.

Most of Northern Air's racing has come at Class 4 level — solid, competitive races without being the very top tier — and it has won one from five at that grade, a 20% win rate that actually flatters the overall picture. Trained by D J Jeffreys out of Hinton on the Green in Worcestershire, it runs for a small yard that has sent out three winners this season, so resources are modest but the operation clearly knows how to get a horse ready to win when the moment is right.

Northern Air raced just yesterday, which means it is right in the middle of its campaign. Whether a return to Taunton — the track where it last showed its best — is on the cards remains to be seen, but for a horse that has been placing regularly without quite winning, finding that familiar setting again could be exactly what it needs.
