I have a question not covered by the above. | What are TowerForm Ratings?
TowerForm ratings are handicap ratings based on the form book. Every race in the United Kingdom, all Irish Group and Listed races and Irish Premier Handicaps (the equivalent of the UK Class 2 Heritage Handicaps). We also rate all Foreign Group races published in the Racing Post Online. There are no historical ratings for individual horses because of the way the ratings are compiled. First we take a horse's overall form to get a base rating, then we adjust that rating with reference to the horse's recent form. Finally, we re-adjust the resultant figure for the race it is contesting on the day, i.e. it is handicapped on the day with particular reference to its competitors in the race. In effect, a horse's rating in previous races has no relevance to the race it is now contesting. For a fuller description of the ratings please go here Explanation and help
How are the ratings presented / formatted?
Horses are rated in descending order - highest rated horse(s) top, lowest rated horse(s) bottom. The ratings are compiled using the Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet and are uploaded as an html page EXAMPLE HERE. To view them a subscriber needs to register a username and password. This can be done on any website page (in the right hand column). Subscribers can then view the ratings at any time of day. As a back up to overcome any possible problem accessing the webpage, we also nightly send out an email with spreadsheet formatted attachments SCREEN CAPTURE EXAMPLE HERE. The online ratings and email back ups are available between 8-00 PM and 9-00 PM each evening before racing.

I don't have Microsoft Excel, so how do I view the spreadsheet attached ratings?
If you don't have Microsoft Excel on your computer you can still view the ratings using the Excel viewer. It is a free download from Microsoft and available here Excel Viewer
What are the highlighted races on the ratings list?
On each day's ratings list we highlight two or three races which we consider the best races for a top two winner. Though the top rated can be backed profitably, the highlighted races are primarily intended as Dutching bets. There is a very high dutch bet success rate and some subscribers use this solely to make their profit.
What are the bracketed numbers at the end of the race descriptions?
These are numbers from (5) the best top rated of the day, down to (1) the most unappealing betting races of the day. They are added to show which races are the best for the ratings and thus to help you use the ratings to the best effect. The (3) , (4), and (5) have the highest strike rates for the clear and top two rated strike rate. The (4) and (5) races have the most impressive strike rate and would be hard to beat anywhere.
What is a Dutch bet?
A Dutch bet is simply backing two or more horses in a race or one horse in two or more races to make a profit if one of the horses wins. There are various ways to stake a dutch bet. There is the popular 7 / 3 method of staking. 7 points are bet on the shortest priced horse and 3 points are bet on the longest priced horse. You can also bet dutches in two other ways: 1) Bet a certain amount on each race; 2) Bet to win a certain amount on each race. There are two dutching calulators we recommend in which you input the prices available to bet. You can then either input the amount you want to win or the amount you want to stake. These calculators can be found here Oddschecker (Available via the "select a power tool" drop down box.) and here EBA (this is downloadable to your computer.)
