V Power

The story of V Power is really the story of Wolverhampton. Of its 5 races at the track, it has won 2 of them — a 40% win rate at a single venue that tells you this horse genuinely thrives there. For context, most horses win somewhere between 1 in 10 and 1 in 7 of their races across a career. Winning 2 from 5 at one specific course is the kind of stat that makes trainers keep coming back. Both career wins have come at Wolverhampton, the first in January 2026 and the most recent just five weeks ago in April. That's not coincidence — that's a course specialist in the making.

What also stands out is how V Power performs on normal ground conditions. On a standard, dry-ish surface, it has won 2 of its 8 races — 25%, or 1 in every 4. That's a meaningful number, and it suggests this is a horse that wants the ground in its favour. Put it somewhere wet and muddy, and the form tends to drop off.

The recent form makes for genuinely encouraging reading: in its last 6 races, V Power has won twice, with the sequence reading 3rd, 1st, 6th, 8th, 1st, 8th from most recent backwards. Two wins in your last 6 races is a sharp improvement on a horse whose overall record is 2 from 20, and it suggests something has clicked. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is very much in the thick of things right now.

Behind the scenes, trainer Thomas Faulkner operates out of Devauden in Monmouthshire, a yard that has sent out 16 winners already this season — a solid tally that suggests the operation knows what it's doing. One small puzzle worth watching: V Power has never won at Class 5 level, the grade it typically competes at, going 0 from 6 at that tier. Both wins have come in other classes. Whether that pattern holds or breaks next time out is one of the more intriguing questions around this horse right now.
