Solar Edge

The most recent win came just this week at Bath on 27 April 2026 — so Solar Edge is in the kind of form right now that any trainer wants to see. Back that up against the recent run of results — 1st, 5th, 2nd, 9th, 3rd, 2nd reading from most recent — and you can see a horse that has been competitive in five of its last six outings, with only one real clunker in the mix. That ninth-place finish looks like the exception rather than the rule.

If there is one place Solar Edge seems to genuinely enjoy, it is Lingfield Park. Two wins from five races there translates to a 40% win rate — winning 2 in every 5 visits — which is a remarkable number. Some horses just take to a particular track, whether it's the shape of the course, the surface, or something harder to explain. Whatever the reason, Lingfield Park appears to bring out the best in this horse, and that is exactly the kind of detail worth knowing.

Jockey Gina Mangan has been aboard for more than half of Solar Edge's career races, riding in 9 of the 17, and they have won together twice — roughly 1 in every 4 rides. That's a meaningful partnership, and the fact that trainer Christopher Mason keeps putting her up suggests the combination works. Mason's yard has sent out 12 winners already this season, so this is a team in decent shape overall.

One number that jumps out is the record at Class 5 level — just 1 win from 12 races, or roughly 1 in every 12 at that tier. That might sound underwhelming, but it simply reflects how competitive racing is even at that grade. The wins have still come, and with the horse racing in form right now, more could follow soon.
