welcome to the forum ! I think the problem with lists of horses to follow is that it's tempting not to evaluate the races they ran in that earned them the flag nor the race that they're due to run in next time out. In other words if you just get a notification that a horse you've bookmarked to follow is running tomorrow it's tempting to back it just because it's on your list of horses to follow without looking more closely at it's real chances I think it's a similar problem with Stable Tours that you get at the beginning of each season or basically trainers opinions full stop. They might know a lot about the horse in their yard but they don't know much about the ten other runners in the 3.15 tomorrow, ie the ones their horse is running against. It might be tempting to back a horse because the trainer has singled him out in his pre-season stable tour but there's no context of the race he's running in and the other horses he's running against

I like to keep things simple ! I mainly look at handicaps and at the following ......... class movement - obviously dropping in class preferred, this related to handicap marks trip - D win or some reason why a horse might improve for a new trip going track configuration (particularly uphill finishes, straight/bend) I look at the last 3 as a combined factor trip/track/going ......... will the horse be effective at this trip on this track on today's going that's mainly it I will check trainer form to see if the yard is horribly out of form or banging winners in left, right and centre and draw if the trip/track/going favours one side Days since run I might look at to see how a horse goes after a break (this combined with trainer form) these last few things mainly to see if there's any reason to abandon a selection I've made by looking at class and trip/track/going

4.14 seconds faster than standard over 13.3 furlongs would get an initial rating of 145 from me prior to any going allowance ..... and I'd have to check all the other races on the card to see if the ground was riding abnormally fast If you remember that Frankel was 'only' rated 140 I'd definitely be treating that standard time with caution !
