Reforme

That win came at Fakenham on 29 October 2025, and it stands out for a specific reason: Reforme typically runs at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle of the racing ladder, and he has gone 0 from 10 at that grade — never won one. Fakenham was different. It suggests the track itself, a tight, quirky little circuit in Norfolk that rewards horses who can handle sharp bends and a rolling surface, may simply suit him in a way that other venues do not. Some horses just click with a particular place, and Fakenham looks like Reforme's place.

His recent form tells a story of gradual improvement. Reading his last six runs from oldest to newest — a win, then two placed efforts, then three blanks — actually flatters him less than the other direction. Most recently he has gone unplaced three times in a row, which tempers the enthusiasm somewhat. He raced just yesterday, so he is very much in active training and his team at Inkberrow clearly have plans for him.

Robert Dunne rides him most often, partnering Reforme in seven of his 19 races and landing that one win together. That is a win rate of roughly 1 in 7 when the pair are combined, which is actually a decent return given how rarely Reforme wins at all — it suggests Dunne knows this horse and brings out what little he has to give. Trainer Tom Gretton has had 13 winners on the board this season, so the yard is functioning well, and Reforme is one of their quieter projects rather than a stable star.

The honest summary is this: Reforme is a limited racehorse who found one track that suited him perfectly. Whether he can go back to Fakenham and do it again is the one genuinely interesting question his profile raises.
