Crash,

I think you missed my point (or maybe I just didn't make it very clear).

I am not suggesting that form study is a bad thing - my point was that most people who I have heard talk about "formlines" generally DONT analyse the complete form for each horse in a race. Instead they tend to say things like "Well horses A and B raced each other two weeks ago and A beat B in that race. Earlier today B won its race and A is starting in the next race so A is a good bet"

Now as an astute form studier you would know that the above is total ****. Sure the results from the previous race are relevant but you must look at ALL the potential winners of the race and look at their form as well - simply saying that a horse in this race beat a different horse 2 weeks ago which then won its next race is totally meaningless by itself.

Hope that is a bit clearer. Merry Christmas!
