1. Roll It In Glitter (IRE) – Total Rating: 387.1

• This horse tops the total ratings with a score of 387.1, suggesting strong performance across various factors. Roll It In Glitter recently marked a new level in form with a win in a similar course and distance handicap last month. The recent gelding operation seems to have shown positive effects. Despite being up 3lb, the horse commands respect based on its form.

1. Tiamat (IRE) – Total Rating: 336.6

• Tiamat comes in second in the total ratings. The horse made a winning debut in a 7f Newcastle maiden and showed improvement in her last race, coming in second in a 1m handicap. As her stamina is set to be drawn out more in this race, she’s definitely one to watch.

1. Orchestra (FR) – Total Rating: 328.9

• Orchestra ranks third in total ratings. The horse has a fair 1m win record and recently came second to Roll It In Glitter over the same course and distance. With a slight increase of just 1lb, Orchestra has a solid chance and is shortlisted as a top contender.

1. Leading Company (IRE) – Total Rating: 317.2

• Leading Company is a three-time winner at 2 years old and recently returned with a solid fourth in a similar 1m2f Redcar handicap. The horse holds solid claims off an unchanged mark and has a good chance of building on his previous performance.

1. Serengeti Sunset – Total Rating: 281.8

• Serengeti Sunset rounds off the top five in total ratings. The well-related Roaring Lion colt has shown promise in all three runs, despite being off for six months before his latest race. Now handicapping, he has more to offer and is one to watch.

Outside of the top ratings, Perfect Play and Eagle Prince (IRE) are two horses that have positive comments but are not in the top five based on total ratings.

• Perfect Play has shown promise, ending 2022 with a 1m Carlisle novice success and a solid fourth on his nursery debut at Wolverhampton. He’s been gelded since and is highly respected on his return with the yard going well.
• Eagle Prince, on the other hand, showed the benefit of wind surgery when gaining his breakthrough success in a 1m Newcastle handicap last month. Despite being up 4lb, he’s much respected back on turf.

In conclusion, Roll It In Glitter, Tiamat, and Orchestra are the top contenders based on their total ratings. However, horses like Perfect Play and Eagle Prince, despite not having high total ratings, also have potential based on their recent performances and improvements.
