i find that using lenghts beaten rather tan finished places is a better option so a horse that finished 8th in it's last three starts but only beaten less than 3 legnths would get a lower result than a horse finishing 3 at all 3 starts but being further back than 3 lengths

If you have a spell in the last 4 runs eg the form line looks like 39X25 or the BD line looks like 2.6,9.4,Spell,0.5,1.2 then it produces better results if you simply dump/ignore the run b4 the spell as it was probably the cause of the spell and it's worth going back the the 5th run back to check on consistency. If you have a BD run like 9.4, 5.6, 8.3, spell, 5.4, 3.2 then leave the run b4 the spell in the mix as it looks like the horse isn't up to snuff throughout. It's easy to write a spreadsheet statement that'll do the work for you.
BTW .... sorry, my prog isn't for sale.
Take care
