Here is an explanation from Timeform:

A hyphen indicates the latest change of season, a slash indicates two (or more) seasons ago. The Flat season runs over the calendar year (so a horse racing on January 1st that had raced on December 31st should still carry a hypen after its latest form figure). The jumps season ends (usually) on the last Saturday in April with the bet365 Gold Cup day at Sandown. The new jumps season starts the following day. This is because, historically, there used to be a 6-week break in the season in June and July and when jumps racing became an all-year-round programme a high profile ‘end of season’ event was chosen to mark the final day.

Does anybody knows if through excel i can spot which races are NH FLAT only? (National Hunt)

* it is not form related but i didn't want to open a new thread

I think they all end in "NHF" in cell A1.

Haven't noticed it
I will check it out

Thanks

* regarding first time runners if i noticed today right if the form column is empty & the days since last run is also empty it means the selection is first time runner

Mak
Not necessarily. Races are split into flat and jumps. Each has its own form code. So a horse that has been doing several jumps races that is switched to its first flat race (or vice versa), will have a blank form but I presume number of days since last run will have a value.

I wanted to write
when form is blank & days since last run = 0

for example today the following are first time runners (there would be some mistakes a few times i guess)

no i don't think you get this info through additional columns
probably with vba code you could (i am almost certain) but i don't have such code
