Walking On Clouds

The most striking thing about this horse is what it does at Southwell. Four wins from 10 races at that track — meaning it wins 2 in every 5 times it runs there — is the kind of record that makes you wonder whether the surface, the track shape, or simply familiarity plays a part. Whatever the reason, Southwell brings out something extra, and any time Walking On Clouds is entered there, the form book will tell you to take notice.

The partnership with jockey Oliver Stammers is another thread worth following. In 13 races together, Stammers has ridden the horse to 5 wins — a win rate of 38%, or roughly 2 wins every 5 rides. That is substantially better than the horse's overall average, which suggests these two have developed a genuine understanding. When Stammers is in the saddle, something clicks.

Recent form underlines that this is a horse in good health. Two wins from the last 6 races, including a win at Wolverhampton just this week on 7 July 2026, shows it is not winding down — it is competing and winning right now. The form line of 1-7-1-3-5-9 tells the story of a horse that can look ordinary one day and land the prize the next, which is part of what makes it interesting to follow. Its career began with a first win at Fairyhouse in May 2022, and more than four years later it is still finding the winner's enclosure. At seven years old, with a sharp jockey partnership and a favourite track to return to, Walking On Clouds has every reason to add to its tally before the season is out.
