1. Astapor – Total: 350.5
   Astapor tops the list with the highest total rating. He recently won a handicap over the course and distance late last month, pulling away from an in-form rival. Despite a 4lb rise that puts him on a career-high mark, the ground conditions and draw are similar, which suggests that he could potentially follow up on his success.
2. Zoom Star – Total: 318.6
   Zoom Star is the second-highest in total ratings. He’s a dual soft-ground course and distance winner who’s resumed in good form, recently experiencing some traffic issues behind a subsequent winner. He’s definitely one to consider based on his past performances and his form.
3. Jumira Bridge – Total: 281.8
   Jumira Bridge ranks third in total ratings. While most of his recent races have been on the all-weather and over 6f, he’s having a good spring and is better treated on turf. However, there’s little evidence to suggest from his younger days, when he was quite successful, that he prefers slower ground conditions.
4. Golden Gal (IRE) – Total: 259.9
   Golden Gal is fourth in total ratings. She came to hand early last season, enjoys racing here and ran well enough on her recent course and distance comeback, following wind surgery, behind Astapor. She’s 6lb better off with the winner and has claims.
5. Latin Five (IRE) – Total: 251.9
   Latin Five has all his victories during the summer, the latest off a 9lb higher mark last July. He’s adaptable regarding ground and course preferences and enters this race on last month’s Thirsk second.
6. Imperial Khan (IRE) – Total: 243.0
   Imperial Khan is somewhat inconsistent and regressive. He’s being tried in a third form of headgear having run below market expectations on the all-weather last Monday.

Noteworthy mention:

Congress – Total: 228.4
Congress has been a mixed bag over various distances and hasn’t always been the easiest ride. He got behind and hung left last time on a 6f Tapeta run, suggesting there are risks involved.

In conclusion, Astapor, Zoom Star, and Jumira Bridge appear to be the top contenders based on their total ratings. However, positive comments on Golden Gal and Latin Five suggest they could also perform well, despite their lower total ratings. As with any race, the actual outcome will depend on the conditions on the day and the performance of the horses.
