Fouette

The bulk of Fouette's racing has come at Class 5, which is the bread-and-butter level of British racing rather than the glamour end, but competing consistently and winning 2 from 4 races there — a 50% win rate — is genuinely impressive. It means when Fouette lines up at that level, she is as likely to win as not. That is the kind of record that makes punters take notice.

Her career began with a first win at Great Yarmouth in July 2024, and she added another at Chelmsford in October 2025, the most recent of her victories now sitting six months ago. Those two tracks — a traditional seaside course and an all-weather venue — suggest she handles different surfaces and settings without fuss. Her recent form reads 6-10-6-1-1 going back from her last run, meaning she put back-to-back wins together before her two most recent outings saw her finish sixth and tenth. That dip in form will be the thing her trainer James Horton is working to understand, especially with Fouette having run just one day ago.

Horton's yard has sent out 20 winners this season, which tells you this is an operation that knows how to get a horse to the track ready to perform. The question now is whether Fouette can rediscover the sharpness that made her so effective in those consecutive wins. At four years old, she is still developing, still learning what racing asks of her. The profile of a horse that wins half its races at its best level, trained by a yard in decent form, is an attractive one — even if the last two runs have been a reminder that sport rarely moves in straight lines.
