Walking On Clouds

The Southwell record is the standout detail here. Four wins from 10 races at that track — that means every time Walking On Clouds has lined up there, it has won 40% of those races, or 2 in every 5. For context, most racehorses never win at their most visited track at all. Finding a track that suits a horse so completely is a genuine edge, and Banham's yard clearly knows it.

The partnership with jockey Oliver Stammers is another thread worth following. In 13 races together, Stammers has steered Walking On Clouds to 5 wins — a win rate of 38%, or nearly 2 in every 5 rides. That is a remarkable hit rate and suggests the two have built a real understanding. When Stammers gets the leg-up, something clicks.

Walking On Clouds typically runs at Class 6, which is the most competitive end of everyday racing in Britain — the races filled with horses at a similar level, all fighting for small margins. Winning 3 from 13 at that level, roughly 1 in every 4, is respectable work. It is not a horse destined for the big occasions, but it is one that earns its keep and then some.

Most tellingly, this horse raced just yesterday and is coming off a win at Lingfield Park on 1 June 2026 — this week. That makes the recent form figures even more interesting: the last six runs read 1-3-5-9-7-7, which means after a patchy spell, Walking On Clouds has come back to form at exactly the right moment. Banham's yard has sent out 8 winners this season already, and this horse is clearly a part of why. A trainer based in Cowlinge, Suffolk, quietly doing the work, with a horse that wins races — that is a combination worth keeping an eye on.
