Fashionelle

Those two wins tell a story of patience and persistence. The first came at Worcester in September 2024, and the second at Wolverhampton in January 2025 — and in between those moments of glory, Fashionelle has been a consistent placer, finishing in the top three on 14 separate occasions. To put that in context: this horse has earned a place finish more than half the time across its career. It is not a winner, but it is rarely far away, which is exactly the kind of horse that keeps a yard believing in it.

The level Fashionelle competes at — Class 5, which is towards the lower end of the racing ladder — suits it well. Two wins from 14 races at that level, a win rate of 14%, is where its best form has come. It is a horse that knows its arena. Jockey James Best has been the regular partner, riding Fashionelle in 10 of its 28 races and winning once together — that 1-from-10 record reflects the horse's overall profile rather than any lack of partnership.

The honest reality right now is that Fashionelle has not won in its last six races, and that last victory was back in January 2025 — over 14 months ago now. The recent form reads 7-3-2-7-2-10, which shows some encouraging seconds and thirds mixed in with a couple of disappointing efforts. This is a horse that remains active — it raced just yesterday — and the team clearly believes there is another winning day in it. Whether that day comes soon is the question, but if you back Fashionelle each way, you will not be left embarrassed very often.
