V Power

There's a horse that took its time finding form, but when it finally clicked, it found a home it clearly loves. V Power is a six-year-old with two wins and five places from 21 races in total — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 10 races over a career — but those headline numbers don't tell the full story. Strip away the wider picture and look at the last six races, and you see something much more interesting: a horse that has won twice in that stretch, finishing 1-8-6-1-3-5 in reverse order. That's not a struggling animal — that's one hitting a genuine purple patch.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The key to unlocking V Power has clearly been Wolverhampton. Two wins from five races there — winning 2 in every 5 — is a remarkable return for a horse whose overall record looks modest. Not every horse takes to a specific track, but when one does, it tends to keep doing it, and V Power's two wins have both come at Wolverhampton, the most recent as recently as 6 April 2026, eight weeks ago. The first of those arrived on 12 January 2026, suggesting this isn't a one-off — this horse has genuinely figured out how to win around that circuit.

Normal ground conditions have been another common thread running through its best performances. V Power has won 2 of its 8 races on standard ground — a win rate of 1 in 4, which is well above its overall average. That's the kind of stat that tells a trainer exactly when to point a horse at a race and when to think twice.

Thomas Faulkner trains V Power from a small yard in Devauden, Monmouthshire, and the operation is clearly in decent nick — 16 winners sent out already this season is a healthy tally for a stable operating away from the big training centres. The one mild puzzle in the profile is that V Power competes mainly at Class 5 level, the lower end of the British racing ladder, and has yet to win at that grade from six attempts. Both its victories have come at higher or different classifications, which hints that when the race is right, this horse rises to meet it rather than cruising through easier company.

Currently racing — and racing well — V Power is the kind of horse that rewards anyone paying close attention to Wolverhampton's results board.
