1. Forgetmenotblue (IRE) – Total: 310.2
   Forgetmenotblue tops the list with the highest total rating. Despite being a 15-race maiden, she has proved largely consistent, finishing third in her most recent race at Wolverhampton. Although she has started favourite in her last three races, her turn to win may be near. She is wearing new headgear in this race, with a visor replacing her usual blinkers, and this change might give her a good chance.
2. Trailblazer – Total: 262.6
   Trailblazer is the second-highest in total ratings. However, he is an 11-race maiden and his best efforts this year have been in middle-distance events on the all-weather. He was comfortably held on heavy ground last month, and he will need to prove his stamina over this new distance.
3. Aighear – Total: 261.8
   Aighear ranks third in total ratings. He was successful at Hamilton and Ayr last year, and his final effort suggests that a return to a longer distance will suit him. He is not fully exposed as a stayer, which means there could be more to come from him.
4. Paramaribo (IRE) – Total: 256.6
   Paramaribo is fourth in total ratings. He has not won in 11 overall attempts but was placed in his last two attempts over hurdles. He was only in the midfield at Redcar back on the flat five weeks ago, but he gave the impression that this sharper test will suit him.
5. Ask Peter (FR) – Total: 201.3
   Ask Peter has been consistent in his three starts under Archie Young this year, including over 2m on the all-weather. He was placed at Ayr returned to turf last week and there are possibilities off the same mark.

Noteworthy mention:

Tiger Spirit – Total: Not provided
Tiger Spirit is the only distance winner in this field and could be a dark horse in the race. Despite a recent dip in form, possibly due to soft ground, she may bounce back in this race.

In conclusion, Forgetmenotblue, Trailblazer, and Aighear appear to be the top contenders based on their total ratings. However, positive comments on Paramaribo and Ask Peter suggest they could also perform well, despite their lower total ratings. Tiger Spirit’s previous success at this distance also makes her a contender. As with any race, the actual outcome will depend on the conditions on the day and the performance of the horses.
