Sonnerie Power

The trainer David Killahena and Graeme McPherson, whose yard in Stow-on-the-Wold has sent out 18 winners this season, picked Sonnerie Power up from the Roger Varian operation and were candid about his frustrating early spell with them — he took a while to get back to winning ways. But they always felt he was running well without quite getting there, and they identified the all-weather tracks as his best surface. That proved correct. His most recent win came at Kempton Park in January 2026, which means he's been off the scoresheet for around four months — but his recent form of 6-7-5-1-7-12 shows a win sandwiched in there, and he raced just 26 days ago, so he's fit and active.

One of the more interesting patterns in his record is how he performs on wet or muddy ground. In 12 races on slow ground, he's won twice — a win rate of 17%, or roughly 1 in every 6 races. That might sound modest, but it's nearly double his overall rate and significantly better than his record on faster surfaces. When conditions get testing, this horse quietly becomes a more serious proposition.

The one relationship in his record that raises an eyebrow is with jockey Cieren Fallon, who has ridden him 8 times without a win. That's not necessarily damning — plenty of factors go into any partnership — but it's a streak that stands out. Sonnerie Power mostly operates at Class 5 level, one of the lower tiers of British racing, where he's won 1 from 13 — about 1 in every 13 races at that grade. He's not a headline act, but he's a solid, active campaigner with a clear set of conditions that bring out his best. On a wet day at the right track, he's worth keeping an eye on.
