    Sure, Jack.

    And good luck (not that there is such a thing). ;-)

    Ginge, if a stable is going through a lean spell for about 2 or 3 weeks and they are like 0 for 25 in that span, does Timeform consider this? I mean no matter how good the horse is, do you get any comments from them suggesting to be cautious about the stable form?

    Spot on nwalton. Although “trainer form” is something I prefer to do my own workings out for. Organisations tend to work to an exact time span. I find it’s sometimes best to have a shorter timespan. eg If a trainer has had only two winners and two placed in the last few weeks it doesn’t look good at all. But if both wins and both placed efforts came in the last few days – all at good or reasonable prices – gives a better impression and that the stable are probably back in form. With my trainer form trainers tend to be what I call “in form” sooner and for less time and I sometimes rate a trainer as being in poor form far sooner than Timeform and/or other organisations.

    I have 10 symbols and to my mind being in or out of form is a matter of degrees. Four symbols *** (best, although rarely seen), **, * and */ are all in form, then there’s //, /’ average and probably average, then /, -/, X/ and X (worst) varied degrees of below form… Where as Timeform have just the one symbol for both in and out of form.

    Timeform Top Rated:
    155 7. SUMMERVILLE BOY Tom George Noel Fehily
    142p 4. LALOR Richard Woollacott Davy Russell
    138p 2. WESTERN RYDER Warren Greatrex Richard Johnson

    Analyst’s Verdict:
    Summerville Boy really upped his game when runner-up in a Grade 2 contest here last month and should have more in the locker after only a couple of starts over timber. He is taken to land what looks a competitive affair. Lalor and Western Ryder head the list of dangers.

    Timeform Top Rated:
    164 3. SIZING TENNESSEE Colin Tizzard B. J. Cooper
    156 2. DUEL AT DAWN Alex Hales Kielan Woods
    154+ 4. TINTERN THEATRE Nigel Twiston-Davies Tom Bellamy

    Analyst’s Verdict:
    Duel At Dawn is a very likeable type, and though these are the stiffest fences he has encountered, he’s made a good start to his chasing career and looks sure to win more races. Jumping concerns certainly surround Sizing Tennessee at present but he is probably the most talented of these.

    It will be interesting to see how these go tomorrow. Summerville Boy is 13lb ahead which should make it the days banker. Let’s see.

    Looking at the Dan Moore handicap over 2 miles tomorrow at fairyhouse and in the timeform appraisal they give Cause of Causes 3 stars? If they reckon that a horse who has come second in the grand national and first in the 4 miler at Cheltenham is worthy of a 3 star rating in a 2 mile chase then I’d love to hear the reasons why

    nwalton. Ring your bank and ask for a paper statement and send them that in the post. Or have your bank talk you through downloading a PDF.
