Market Form Ratings: top-rated winners in 12 races — 5 November 2026
A new way to read the racing market. Market Form is changing how racing fans can interpret market activity, bringing price movement, horse history and trainer evidence together in one accessible rating. The aim is to help you quickly identify the runners whose market deserves a closer look.
We rate every runner in the field on a 0–100 scale. You can compare the whole race, follow the ratings before the off and then check how those ratings performed.
50 is neutral. Higher scores reflect stronger positive market evidence; lower scores reflect weaker or more negative evidence. A rating is a market assessment, not a percentage chance of winning. A neutral horse can still win its race.
How the top ratings performed on Thursday 5 November 2026
The highest rating included the winner in 12 of 38 races with completed top-rated results (31.6%).
In 19 of those races, at least one top-rated runner finished first or second. In 25 races, at least one finished in the first three.
What are we counting? This review covers 38 races with saved ratings. Each completed race counts once in the headline figures, even when several horses share the highest rating. “Top-rated” means highest within its own race; it does not necessarily mean a high score on the 0–100 scale.
We have not included runners jointly top-rated at 50, as 50 is the baseline. Those races are excluded from the top-rated totals, percentages and results by meeting. This excludes 7 races from this review.

One clear rating. A more informed view of the market.
Market Form brings the evidence behind a market move into focus. Our ratings make that context easier to compare across every horse in a race, while the results guide lets you follow the outcome. That is the change we are building: a clearer, more informed way to read the racing market.
This review uses saved ratings from before the scheduled off. We never recalculate a completed race using its result.
Who leads the ratings today?
Open a meeting, choose a race and see the rating for every runner. Look beyond the number, compare the field and explore the evidence behind the market.
