The Form Book

[Evertonboy]

Afernoon folks, this is my first venture into this neck of the woods! I'm after some advice, I am looking to purchase the Jumps Fom book from last season. Has anybody got any advice how best to use it and make it worthwile? Many thanks.

Re: The Form Book In the olden days i used to buy annual formbooks with the previous season's full results But frankly, I never really used them...........after a few weeks of the new season I was only interested in what the horses had done this year, not last ! And they were 'clunky' to use being in race order. To follow one horse through that past season, you'd have to look at numerous races. (and the print size was too small to read without a magnifying glass, but that just might be me getting old !) Nowadays with all the form accessible on the Post site organised by horse rather than by race, I fail to see the point of buying last season's formbook unless you want to keep them as a collection to dip into in the years ahead as a reminder of past glories.
