Here are the latest FSFs (combined Form and Speed Ratings) for the top horses plus novices going into Aintree 2017.
FSF ratings have been developed by Graham Richards using well-known ratings and his own figures. Combining both a form rating and a speeding to creates an FSF rating that covers two of the most important factors in assessing a horse’s ability; form and speed.
