1. Langholm (IRE) – Total: 332.2
   Langholm tops the total ratings. This multiple winner at up to 1m2f comes here after two good runs over 7f at this track. However, his sprint distance record is a concern, as he is only 1-9.
2. Lezardrieux – Total: 318.7
   Lezardrieux ranks second in total ratings. He is a course and distance winner on heavy ground last September when only 1lb lower, and he performed well in his comeback run at Newcastle last week. There’s a lot to like about this horse.
3. Mews House – Total: 262.9
   Mews House is third in total ratings. He was a good second of seven at Pontefract, but he reportedly ran flat at Redcar. He could run better this time, but might prefer drier ground.
4. Redrosezorro – Total: 253.4
   Redrosezorro is fourth in total ratings. He likes the track and nearly won this race 12 months ago. However, his recent form is a worry, as he was down the field on his reappearance at this track and fared only a little better at Haydock.
5. Shabaaby – Total: 250.2
   Shabaaby has the fifth-highest total ratings. He ran his best race yet for this yard when finishing a close third over 5f at Ayr. He has form on softer ground in Ireland and he’s back on a fair mark.

Noteworthy mentions:

John Kirkup – Total: Not provided
Although he hasn’t won for a while, he lost lengths at the start on his comeback run and didn’t shape too badly in a small field at Ripon. A return to 6f could work in his favour.

In conclusion, based on their total ratings, Langholm, Lezardrieux, and Mews House are the top contenders. However, the positive comments on John Kirkup suggest he could also perform well, despite his lower total ratings. As always, the actual outcome will depend on the conditions on the day and the performance of the horses.
