Give this a go

=IFERROR(INDEX('ratings plus'!D:D,MATCH(M2,'ratings plus'!C:C,0),0),0)

Check if the horse names are the same in each sheet as the formula definitely works. You may have a rogue space or extra character. A quick test is say cell M2 and X5 contain the same horse names then formula =M2=X5 should calculate to TRUE if they match

no upper/lower case will give the same result. Try =len(M2) to check the string length of each horse. I imagine you probably have a leading/trailing space

Common is the trailing space.
