Based on the total ratings provided, here’s an analysis of the race along with the ranking of the horses:

1. Abduction (FR): With a total rating of 447.1, Abduction tops the list. The horse’s last two victories were over 7f, showing it has the stamina for this 6f race. Despite the drop to 5f in the latest race, it performed admirably, indicating that it could fare well back over 6f.
2. Woven: Coming in at second place with a total of 376.9, Woven has shown consistent form recently. The horse returned successfully from Doncaster, and even though soft ground was likely a factor, it seems capable of performing under varying conditions. However, it is noted that Woven is an infrequent winner, which might cause some unpredictability.
3. Soldiers Minute: Soldiers Minute is at the third spot with a total rating of 364.6. Its close second in the Silver Cup here in 2021 suggests familiarity and success at this venue. The fact that it’s well handicapped could be beneficial. It’s worth noting its recent troubled run at York, but a bounce back could be possible.
4. Fast And Loose: Ranked fourth with a total rating of 358.3, Fast And Loose showed progress at 6f in 2022. The horse seems to prefer good ground, which is the condition for this race. It did lose to Woven in the last outing, but this could be due to the soft ground. Blinkers are back on, and it’s one to take seriously.
5. Shalaa Asker: This horse has a total rating of 350.2, placing it in the fifth position. It’s noteworthy that its turf mark has risen with its AW one, and is now 11lb higher than its latest 6f turf defeat. However, it has won three out of nine races this year, showing consistent form.

The top five contenders are ranked in accordance with their total ratings. However, it’s important to consider the comments for additional insight. For instance, Soldier’s Minute, despite being third in the total rankings, displayed signs of improvement and might make its presence felt in this race. Fast And Loose, despite being fourth in the total rankings, showed promise and should be taken seriously.

Horses not in the top five but showing positive comments include Significantly, which despite having lost its way in 2022 and changing yards, now has a potentially good mark. Venturous (IRE) also retains ability, although its win on turf is infrequent. As such, these could be dark horses in this race and might provide surprise results.

Please note that horse racing outcomes can be unpredictable and while analysis can provide insight, it cannot guarantee results.
