·

Based on the total ratings provided, the top five horses in this race are:

  1. Veil Of Shadows: 423.6
  2. Tarjamah: 414.7
  3. Inner Space: 406.7
  4. Araminta (IRE): 393.6
  5. Secret Solace: 392.0

Veil Of Shadows is the top-rated horse in the race with a total rating of 423.6. The comments indicate that this horse showed impressive late speed in her last outing at Ascot and the step up in trip should suit her. Her last performance, where she carried a penalty yet was narrowly beaten by a subsequent Listed performer, stands her in good stead here. The challenge to note is that she’s unproven over this distance, but the signs are promising.

Tarjamah is next on the ratings with 414.7, indicating her strong form. However, the comments suggest that she had a disappointing run in her last race at Newmarket. The key here is her pedigree, which suggests she should improve with better ground conditions and she’s entered in the Ribblesdale. Despite her poor last run, she still holds potential for improvement.

Inner Space with a rating of 406.7 is third in the list. The horse was an impressive winner at Kempton last year but had a disappointing run in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn at Newmarket on her reappearance. Her pedigree is strong and the yard’s recent success suggests she can bounce back from a quiet reappearance, making her an interesting prospect.

Araminta (IRE) comes in fourth with a total rating of 393.6. She coped well with a rise in grade in her last run and her form is up there. The question around her is whether she can step up to this longer trip effectively, but the comments suggest she’s a useful prospect.

Secret Solace rounds out the top five with a total rating of 392.0. She held her own in a heavy-ground Listed race at Newbury and there is plenty of stamina in her pedigree. She may be down the pecking order on official ratings, but the comments suggest she’s not to be ruled out.

From the rest of the field, it’s worth mentioning Heavenly Breath who, despite a lower rating of 295.9, has shown form to be competitive at this level. Her recent poor performance may be explained by a change in tactics and retained cheekpieces, while the drying surface poses a question mark. However, she has competed well at Group 3 level before and could bounce back.

In conclusion, Veil Of Shadows, with the highest total rating and promising comments, seems to be the top contender for this race, followed closely by Tarjamah, Inner Space, Araminta (IRE), and Secret Solace. Heavenly Breath could be an interesting outsider based on her previous form at a higher level.
