You can highlight any 'stored value as text' by tagging a value to the SV which you can then use to drive 'value based' text and background colours in Guardian.

Get yourself into practice mode and have a play. It's easy and powerful once you get the hang of it.

Here you need to create a 'stored value as text' with a condition that picks out only the handicaps, perhaps a text comparison condition that checks for Hcap in the market name. Add a value tag to this text SV, just 1 will do.

Then display your new stored value in a new custom column in Guardian. Use a value based background and/or text colour that highlights the SV with a value of 1 with whatever colour you desire.

Try this, it has a column for race types, or you could edit the file and use the Alert column which displays if its a flat or jumps race and has a colour already assigned
