Based on the comments and rankings provided, here is an analysis of the horses and my top 4 selections for the race:

1. Yellow Bear:

• Rankings: Highest total rating of 271.7. Positive comments on previous form and respectable Wetherby performance.
• Assessment: Yellow Bear has shown ability on the turf and has performed well in previous races. However, the longer trip may be a question mark. With a high rating and consistent form, he is a strong contender in this race.

Based on the comments and rankings provided, here is an analysis of the horses and my top 4 selections for the race:

1. Snash (IRE):

• Comments: Won over the course and distance last June and added to the tally at Ayr. Respectable fifth-place finish at Haydock in the final start. Resumes off the same mark he defied at Ayr. Can be a factor if ready to roll after a seven-month break.
• Rankings: Highest total rating of 363.4. Positive comments on previous course and distance wins and respectable Haydock performance.
• Assessment: Snash has shown success over the course and distance and has performed well in previous races. With a high rating and a strong record at the track, he is a top contender in this race.

1. Indian Creak (IRE):

• Comments: Made all and won comfortably over 6f at Windsor in the last outing. Better than ever with a reappearance run behind him. Good chance under a 5lb penalty if in similar form.
• Rankings: Total rating of 352.7. Positive comments on recent win at Windsor and improvement from reappearance run.
• Assessment: Indian Creak has shown excellent form with a comfortable win in the last outing. With the benefit of a recent run and a 5lb penalty, he is likely to be a strong contender in this race.

1. International Girl (IRE):

• Comments: All four wins on good/good to firm ground, so the soft ground may not be ideal for her seasonal return. Carries a 2lb penalty from her last successful mark. Best to look elsewhere.
• Rankings: Total rating of 342.6. Comments suggest ground conditions may not be ideal and a penalty may be a challenge.
• Assessment: While International Girl has shown success on firmer ground, the soft ground and the penalty may pose challenges for her in this race. It may be best to consider other contenders.

1. It Just Takes Time (IRE):

• Comments: Won four times last year, including at this track. Reappearance run was a third-place finish at Wetherby. Expected to show prominence in this race.
• Rankings: Total rating of 339.4. Positive comments on previous wins and promising reappearance run.
• Assessment: It Just Takes Time has a strong track record and showed promise in the reappearance run. With a prominent showing likely, he should be considered as a top contender in this race.

Additional overlooked contender:

• Baba Reza: The rankings did not provide a total rating for Baba Reza, but the comments indicate that he placed over the course and distance in a light 2022 campaign. Although he needed the outing in his last race, he may need to improve significantly in a short time. However, the addition of first-time cheekpieces could bring about improvement and should not be completely overlooked.

Based on the comments and rankings provided, here is an analysis of the horses and my top 4 selections for the race:

1. Yeoman:

• Comments: Made a winning handicap debut over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton in the last outing. Lightly raced 3-year-old likely to have more to offer. The second-place horse from the last race didn’t do much to boost the form.
• Rankings: Highest total rating of 339.3. Positive comments on the last win and the potential for further improvement.
• Assessment: Yeoman’s recent win and potential for further improvement make him a strong contender in this race. With the highest total rating and positive comments, he is the top selection.

1. Hale End (IRE):

• Comments: Close-up on nursery debut at Newmarket and made a positive start for new trainer Michael Dods when third over the extended 7f at Beverley in the last outing. Stable among the winners, so Hale End is respected.
• Rankings: Total rating of 293.4. Positive comments on the last run for the new trainer and the stable’s recent success.
• Assessment: Hale End’s recent performance under a new trainer and the positive comments about the stable’s form make him a strong contender for this race. With a solid rating and a positive run last time, he should be considered.

1. Sparks Fly:

• Comments: 0-5 on the all-weather, but has performed well on turf this spring, scoring twice over 1m in the mud at Windsor. Effectively 9lb higher mark (including 6lb penalty), but may still complete a hat-trick.
• Rankings: Total rating of 292.2. Positive comments on recent turf performances and the potential for a hat-trick.
• Assessment: Sparks Fly’s success on turf and recent form make her a strong contender in this race. Despite the higher mark and penalty, her recent performances suggest she has what it takes to be competitive.

1. Rievaulx Raver (IRE):

• Comments: Won a 1m Ripon novice last summer, but efforts in handicap company have been less impressive. Drop back in trip may help, but others are preferred.
• Rankings: Total rating of 270.8. Comments suggest less excitement about recent handicap efforts.
• Assessment: While Rievaulx Raver has shown promise in the past, the recent handicap performances have been underwhelming. The drop back in trip may be beneficial, but there are stronger contenders in this race.

Additional overlooked contender:

• Valstar: The rankings did not provide a total rating for Valstar, but the comments indicate that she showed a return to form with a second-place finish at Doncaster in the last outing. While the form may not be strong, the fact that she is 1lb lower now suggests she could be a competitive runner in this race.

Based on the comments and rankings provided, here is an analysis of the horses and my top 4 selections for the race:

1. Magical Effect (IRE):

• Comments: Multiple winner who will go on the ground, but he is now 11 years old and was well behind on his reappearance.
• Rankings: Total rating of 300.3. No significant positive comments about recent form.
• Assessment: While Magical Effect has shown success in the past, the comments and rankings suggest that his recent form may not be as strong. Considering his age and poor reappearance, it might be best to look for stronger contenders in this race.

1. Bold Territories (IRE):

• Comments: Completed a hat-trick last summer and ran a good first race back behind race-fit opposition at Redcar. Off a fair mark and worth considering.
• Rankings: Total rating of 294.8. Positive comments on the hat-trick achievement and the good run at Redcar.
• Assessment: Bold Territories’ hat-trick last summer and a good performance in the first race back indicate that he could be a strong contender in this race. With a fair mark and positive comments, he should be considered as one of the top selections.

1. La Feile:

• Comments: A winner at 5f and 7f, including a win at Redcar last July. Ended the year disappointingly but could bounce back and handles soft ground.
• Rankings: Total rating of 263.4. Comments suggest a potential bounce back and ability to handle soft ground.
• Assessment: La Feile’s previous wins and ability to handle soft ground make her an interesting contender. While the end of the year was disappointing, the potential for a bounce back should not be overlooked. She could be a competitive runner in this race.

1. Asmund (IRE):

• Comments: Won from the front on two occasions last season but has been quiet so far this campaign. Best watched for now.
• Rankings: Total rating of 262.5. No significant positive comments about recent form.
• Assessment: Asmund’s previous front-running wins are notable, but the comments and rankings suggest that his recent form has been quiet. It might be wise to observe his performance in this race before considering him as a top selection.

Additional overlooked contender:

• Josiebond: The rankings did not provide a total rating for Josiebond, but the comments indicate that she arrived from off the pace to score at Catterick and had a decent sixth-place finish at Ayr. With a competitive mark and a return in similar shape, she could be a contender in this race.
