Walking On Clouds

There is a version of Walking On Clouds that is genuinely hard to beat — and it shows up almost exclusively at Southwell. Four wins from ten races at that track makes it a course specialist in the truest sense: not a horse that has happened to win there, but one that actively thrives on it. For context, that is one win in every two and a half visits, which is a remarkable return for any horse at any venue. Whatever it is about Southwell — the surface, the shape of the track, the way the races are run — this horse has clearly found a home there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The broader career picture is solid without being spectacular. Eight wins and 17 places from 46 races gives Walking On Clouds a win rate of around 17%, or roughly one win in every six races — which, over a career at the level this horse competes, represents a genuine and consistent performer. The partnership with jockey Oliver Stammers tells its own story: five wins from 13 races together works out to 38%, meaning they have won more than one in every three races as a pair. That is a striking number, and it suggests the two have developed a real understanding.

The honest part of this profile, though, is that Walking On Clouds has not won in its last six races, with the most recent victory coming at Wolverhampton back in December 2024 — now 17 months ago. The recent form figures of 3-5-9-7-7-12 show a horse that was placing earlier in that run but has since faded back through the field. At seven years old, trained by Chelsea Banham at her yard in Cowlinge, Suffolk, the horse is still clearly in work — it raced just yesterday — and Banham's team has sent out six winners already this season, so the yard is in form even if this particular horse is waiting for its moment. The question now is whether a return to Southwell could spark something. History says it might be worth watching.
