What can be concluded about the form of these horses? How do i compare each one against each other. What should I look for. Looking at the form the one's that i should be looking are the 4 and 7 and compare there past form over such as distance weight and barrier.
Any thoughts.

You might like to consider class? The worst formline might be from a horse who was running against stiffer competition. Also No. 2 might have an 80% first up strike rate regardles of the fact that the form reads x01x [the 0 first up might have been on a slow track and the horse only perprms well on good..
A big thing to consider is average earnings [a good average class indicator] before then looking at all the other things like distance, track and conditions form etc. Weight is also important. Is the topy a weight carrier? Will the bottom weights go any faster due to a light weight [not necessarily] ?
Formline by itself means jack.
