Walking On Clouds

Walking On Clouds is a seven-year-old who has carved out a decent career on the British racing circuit, winning 10 of his 52 races—roughly 1 in every 5 starts. That is solid, unspectacular form, but the real story lies in where and how he wins. His best record comes at Southwell, where he has landed 4 wins from just 10 races. That is a win rate of 40 percent at that track—genuinely exceptional, the kind of record that makes the yard circle it on the calendar. He clearly thrives there in a way he does not elsewhere, whether it is the surface, the layout, or simply the type of race offered at that venue.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The partnership with jockey Oliver Stammers has been particularly fruitful. Together they have won 5 of 13 races—a 38 percent win rate—which is far above Walking On Clouds' overall average. That kind of improvement suggests real chemistry: Stammers knows the horse, trusts what he can do, and gets the best out of him. Trainer Chelsea Banham, based at Cowlinge in Suffolk, has done solid work with the horse, though Walking On Clouds typically races in Class 6 company, where he has won 3 of 13 starts.

Recent form has been mixed. He won just 2 of his last 6 races, most recently at Wolverhampton in July—three months ago now. Since then he has posted a 9th, 6th, and 7th place finish, suggesting he may have lost a little edge, though a run just yesterday keeps him active and in the mix. At seven years old, Walking On Clouds still has racing in front of him, but his window for climbing to anything higher than Class 6 may be closing. For now, he remains a horse worth following at Southwell and with Stammers in the saddle.
