Analysis

The Thin Blue Line (IRE) has the highest total score at 377.1. It’s been showing career-best form in its last two outings, coming a close second in its last race at Hamilton. Its solid performance in recent races makes it a strong contender for this race.

Princess Karine comes in second on the ratings with a total of 334.8. It has consistently placed in all three starts this year, with a notable neck second at Newcastle in its latest race. Given its consistency and recent performance, it stands a solid chance in this race.

Our Absent Friends (IRE) ranks third on the list with a total rating of 327.6. It was successful at Newcastle in March after a 5-month hiatus and had a commendable second place in its last race at Ayr. The fact that it’s performing well after a considerable break makes it a likely contender.

Nelson Gay (IRE) follows next with a total rating of 323.8. Despite not being seen to best effect in its last race, it’s interesting to note that its stable is in much better form since its last outing. As such, it’s worth considering for this race.

Ramon Di Loria (IRE) is ranked fifth on total ratings with a score of 317.2. Despite its form dipping in the last two outings, it has the potential to bounce back, although it would need to significantly improve on its latest performance.

Additional Considerations

Looking beyond the ratings, Glorious Rio (IRE) stands out as it has a record of 2 wins out of 4 at Carlisle. Its performance at Newcastle, where it came sixth, was also noteworthy. If it replicates its previous performances at Carlisle, it could be a real contender.

Mews House has also been in great form, winning at Hamilton just three days ago, even though it ranks 8th in total ratings. However, it would need to find more to follow up under a penalty.

These are all strong contenders based on their recent performances and other factors. It should be an interesting race.
