Where Banham does show a clear edge is at Lingfield Park, where she's sent out 4 winners from 21 runners. That's a win rate of around 19%, or nearly 1 in 5 — significantly better than her overall numbers and the kind of figure that tells you she understands that track. Whether it's her choice of races, the horses she targets there, or simply a yard that suits a certain type of ground, trainers who consistently outperform at specific venues are always worth paying attention to when they turn up there.
Ground conditions matter too. On normal ground, Banham wins at 10% — 6 from 61 races — which accounts for virtually all of her success this season. That suggests her horses are built for standard conditions rather than extremes, and it's a useful pointer for anyone following her runners.
Her most consistent working relationship is with jockey Joey Haynes, who has partnered her horses to 6 wins from 92 rides together. That's 7%, or roughly 1 in every 15, which mirrors her overall numbers closely — a sign of a genuine, established partnership rather than a flashy one-off connection. The pair clearly know how to work together, even if the headline results haven't dazzled this season. As for Walking On Clouds, the two have crossed paths four times without a win to show for it — a partnership that hasn't clicked yet, whatever the promise might be on paper.
Fifty winners in four years is a respectable career so far. The current season has been quieter, but Banham has shown enough — particularly at Lingfield — to suggest the tools are there when everything lines up.
