Based on the provided ratings, the top three horses are:

1. Morning Sun (IRE) – Total rating: 425.9
2. Innse Gall – Total rating: 371.0
3. Tilsitt (FR) – Total rating: 320.5

Let’s look at these horses more closely:

1. Morning Sun (IRE): The frontrunner, based on total ratings, is Morning Sun with a total rating of 425.9. This horse recently won from the front over this course and distance on good ground a fortnight ago on his second start since leaving Sir Michael Stoute. This lightly raced 4-year-old did it with something to spare and could take a 6lb rise in his stride, indicating strong claims.

2. Innse Gall: Coming second in total ratings is Innse Gall with a score of 371. This horse, while he has not won off a mark this high, reappeared with a good second at Newcastle and was a respectable fifth of 13 at Haydock last time. This is less competitive, and he might not be far away, making him a notable contender.

3. Tilsitt (FR): Rounding off the top three is Tilsitt, with a total rating of 320.5. Tilsitt was not at his best on either start this season but did not run poorly at Hamilton ten days ago and is now back at the venue for his last three wins. This horse carries the same mark as his last win, making him a potential dark horse in this race.

Outside of the top-rated horses, several others show promise based on positive comments:

Theophilos (IRE): Despite a lower total rating of 302.5, Theophilos boasts a promising performance history. He was victorious at Tipperary last month, beating 12 rivals on his second handicap start. He faces a higher mark today, but given his recent form and the fact that this lightly raced Irish-trained 4yo could have more left in the tank, especially over the extra furlong, his chances should not be dismissed.

Zarabanda (IRE): With a total rating of 299.5, Zarabanda isn’t to be overlooked. The horse won a novice at Redcar last October and gave an encouraging performance at Hamilton ten days ago, despite not having a clear run. His unproven ability on good ground is a factor to consider, but the potential for improvement suggests he’s worth keeping an eye on.

Sophiesticate (IRE): Sophiesticate has a total rating of 295.4 and could be a contender. She improved her form this season and kept on for a close fourth of 14 at Hamilton ten days ago. Her last two wins were over this distance and she could be a threat now back up in trip.

While the total ratings give an initial ranking, it’s clear that form, recent performance, and suitability to the conditions also play a significant role in determining the likely outcome of this race.
