Future Form: See the Strength Behind Recent Performances
Future Form is an Enterprise-exclusive feature that answers a crucial question for serious punters: how strong is the recent form of each horse in today's race? Instead of looking at a single past run in isolation, it analyses the last three completed races for every runner on the card, all in one place.
How It Works
The system finds each horse's most recent three races, then examines what happened to the other runners from those races afterwards. If the opponents went on to perform well in subsequent runs, that tells you the original race was competitive. The horse's own performance in those races is also factored in.
These two elements — race quality and individual performance — combine into a single Future Form Score (0–100) for each runner. A high score means the horse raced against strong opposition and performed well. A low score suggests weaker company or poor individual form.
Why It Matters
Form is only useful if you know the level of opposition. Future Form removes the guesswork by showing you objectively how strong each runner's recent rivals were, and how the horse fared against them. This is particularly valuable when horses have switched tracks, classes or surfaces recently.
How to Access Future Form
Open any racecard and click the purple Future Form tab — it's the fourth tab after Ratings, Form Expert, and At-a-Glance. Data loads on demand when you click.
Enterprise subscribers see full Future Form scores for all runners. Lower-tier users see a sample score for the first horse, with remaining data locked behind an upgrade prompt.
Understanding the Score
The Future Form Score splits evenly between two components. Race Quality measures the average performance of opposing runners in later races (0–50 points). Own Performance scores the horse's finishing position in that prior race (0–50 points). Scores are weighted by recency, so more recent races carry greater influence.
