Sometimes you find the RPRs are amended after a week or two. I wouldn't be surprised if they came back with increased figures. I can't think of any valid reason for thier assuming both Steele Tango and Jukebox Jury failed to run their races. A similar thing happened the year Mark Of Esteem won the Sussex. They hadn't credited the horses MOE had beaten previously as having run to form but I did and it put MOE something like 8lbs higher than either RPRs or Timeform. I cleaned up that day when MOE bolted in a mile clear.

I've never forgotten - getting all anecdotal now - the way Raceform upped the form of the Hennessy almost every week for a couple of months after it. In the days of 0-100 ratings, they started off with Galway Blaze on 78, which I thought laughable. As each of the beaten horses came out and ran big races elsewhere they kept upping the figures until GB ended up rated 100 without even running.
