Based on the provided ratings, my analysis and rankings of the horse race are as follows (Adjusted Timefigure in brackets):
- Je Ne Sais Quoi (IRE) (85+++): Leading with a total rating of 341.2, Je Ne Sais Quoi is our top contender. Described as a “promising sort”, this horse finished third in a maiden at Ascot on its debut. With its already impressive performance and potential for improvement, Je Ne Sais Quoi stands out as a strong candidate to win.
- Midnight Lir (IRE): (84+) Coming in second with a total rating of 278.4, Midnight Lir has had some experience on the field, finishing fourth in a maiden at Hamilton. Though not as promising as our top pick, this gelding is not to be underestimated and should not be discounted from potential contenders.
- Clerys Clock (IRE): (59+) With a total rating of 221.1, Clerys Clock is third in line. This gelding has some experience on the racecourse, finishing seventh in a minor event at Beverley on its debut. Although the performance was not outstanding, there may still be potential for improvement.
- Ifonlytheycudtalk (IRE): (56+)Ranking fourth with a total rating of 203.1, Ifonlytheycudtalk had a slow start on its debut, finishing twelfth in a minor event at Doncaster. While not an impressive debut, the horse might fare better this time around.
- Patronage: (59+) Fifth on our list with a total rating of 180.1, Patronage finished fifth in a maiden at Redcar on its debut. The horse didn’t make a splash on its first outing, but there may be room for growth.
While these five horses have the highest total ratings, it’s worth noting the newcomer, Latama. Despite having a lower total rating of 92.1, Latama is a filly half-sister to the smart 5f/6f winner Umm Kulthum, who finished runner-up in the Sceptre Stakes. Given this pedigree, Latama may turn out to be a dark horse in this race.
Overall, Je Ne Sais Quoi (IRE) seems to have an exceptional chance given its performance to date and scope for improvement. The horse’s total rating combined with the comments make it a standout choice.

Based on the given ratings and considering the comments for each horse, here’s an analysis of the race:
- Tyndrum Gold (Total: 488.7) – The top-rated horse, Tyndrum Gold stands out as an excellent contender. It recently won a minor event at Kempton and appears to have the capacity to forge clear of the rest. Even though more will be needed due to a double penalty, it remains unexposed and open to improvement, and is from a top yard, which should offer some reassurance. This horse deserves a special mention given its high ratings and positive comments, showing promise for potential improvement.
- Dora Milaje (IRE) (Total: 352.9) – Ranked second in total ratings, Dora Milaje won a minor event at Pontefract on her debut last September. Although this race seems to be more demanding, she shows promise, which might turn into a competitive performance.
- Terwada (IRE) (Total: 316.8) – With a third rank in total ratings, Terwada shows potential. Having finished third in a minor event on debut, the form appears to be decent. More importantly, the horse that won that event went on to win again at Doncaster recently, which indirectly attests to Terwada’s strength. We should expect this horse to be sharper this time.
- Burning The Bails (Total: 312.6) – Finishing third in a minor event at Newcastle, Burning The Bails remains open to improvement. With a fourth place in the ratings, it should be expected to make its presence felt, provided it adapts well to turf.
Outside of the top four horses in terms of total ratings, it’s worth noting the following:
Rajindri (IRE) – Rajindri is notable given its second-place finish in a maiden at Beverley, where it was clear of the rest, and the fact that further progress is likely. Though it’s ranked fifth in total ratings (307.8), its potential for improvement could make it a key player in this race.
The above analysis has primarily focused on the total ratings and then additional comments. The odds have not been taken into account as per your request. It’s important to remember that horse racing can be unpredictable, and while these ratings provide a good indication of a horse’s potential performance, actual race conditions and unforeseen circumstances can influence the outcome.

- Absolute Dream (IRE) (Total Rating: 306.2)
- Zumurud (IRE) (Total Rating: 300.2)
- Rocket Rod (IRE) (Total Rating: 299.0)

- Frog And Toad (IRE) (Total Rating: 253.6)
- El Bello (Total Rating: 236.8)
Based on the total ratings and accompanying comments, we could consider the following analysis:
- “Sparkle In His Eye” is the top-ranked horse according to the ratings. It managed to secure a creditable sixth position in the last race at this course and distance. The comments indicate that it’s likely to give a good account, though may fall just short of winning.
- “Diamond Haze (IRE)” ranks second in total ratings. However, its form is questionable as it had a low-key display in its last outing. This makes it a potentially unreliable choice, despite its high ratings.
- “Absolute Dream (IRE)” is third on the ratings and an interesting contender. Despite finishing seventh in its last outing, it is now 3 lb lower than its last successful race, making it potentially undervalued in this race.
- “Zumurud (IRE)” ranks fourth and merits special attention. The comments suggest that this horse has performed well at this venue in the past, which is a positive factor to consider, despite its sixth place finish in its last race.
- “Rocket Rod (IRE)” is fifth in ratings, however, based on comments, it doesn’t look like a strong contender for this race.
- “Obee Jo (IRE)”, ranking sixth, is another horse to keep an eye on. It has a good track record this year and seems to be a reliable performer. The stamina over this new trip is a concern though, but if it copes well with the distance, it could be a strong contender.
Based on the analysis, it seems that “Zumurud (IRE)” and “Obee Jo (IRE)”, despite not being the top in total ratings, deserve special attention considering their good past performances at the venue and recent form respectively. The top-rated “Sparkle In His Eye” is also worth considering due to its consistency, despite it possibly falling short of a win.

Based on the total ratings provided, the following are the rankings for the upcoming race at Thirsk:
- Shallow Hal: 349.6
- Hail Sezer: 326.6
- J R Cavagin (IRE): 317.4
- Late Arrival (IRE): 301.8
- Barneys Bay: 296.0
- Summer Sands: 294.6

- Cottam Lane: 266.5
- Rich Waters (IRE): 250.6
- Newyorkstateofmind: 247.2
- Prince Of Bel Lir (IRE): 229.2
Shallow Hal tops the ratings list with a score of 349.6. Based on the comments, this horse does have a shot based on its best form. The return of blinkers could also enhance its performance, so this horse may be one to keep a close eye on.
Next up is Hail Sezer, rated at 326.6. This horse is showing promise, having narrowly missed a win in a recent race at Wetherby. The comments suggest that the 2 lb rise is reasonable and that the horse holds leading claims, making it a strong contender.
J R Cavagin (IRE) is third in the ratings with a score of 317.4. The comments suggest that others may be more persuasive, suggesting that despite its high rating, it might not be the strongest contender.
Late Arrival (IRE) has a rating of 301.8, ranking it fourth. This horse has run creditably in both starts this season and is on a handy mark, which makes it a horse to consider seriously.
Despite ranking fifth on the ratings list, Barneys Bay with a score of 296.0 is highlighted in the comments as a horse that should not be dismissed. This horse is a previous C&D winner and although it has not won in several runs, it could potentially be in the mix.
Patontheback (IRE), though ninth in ratings, receives a positive comment noting its good performance following a six-month break and feasible treatment. This could position it as a dark horse in this race.
Please note that this analysis focuses on the total ratings and comments provided for each horse, and does not factor in odds.

Based on the total ratings, the horses are ranked as follows:
- Lady Rascal
- Fox Flame
- Grain Of Hope
- Ready To Shine (IRE)
- Wheres The Crumpet
- Folk Star
Lady Rascal is the top-rated horse with a total of 356.1 points. The comment suggests she’s in excellent form, having won a minor event at Salisbury recently. The distance for this race is new to her, but she is the one to beat and holds strong claims in this race. She is worth a special mention due to her promising career thus far.
Fox Flame is the second-ranked horse with a total of 340.5 points. According to the comment, this horse showed winning form at Wolverhampton in April. Although she didn’t perform well in her last race, the comment suggests that she might find this race level more suited to her abilities. Therefore, Fox Flame seems to be a strong contender as well.
Grain Of Hope is the third-ranked horse with a total of 267.8 points. The comment, however, doesn’t paint a promising picture. She was last in her most recent race at Wolverhampton and requires significant improvement to compete effectively in this handicap.
Ready To Shine (IRE) is the fourth-ranked horse with a total of 245.1 points. The comment suggests she hasn’t been at her best recently, finishing seventh in her last outing at Beverley. She might have a more effective performance on the all-weather, but overall, she doesn’t seem a strong contender.
Lastly, Wheres The Crumpet and Folk Star are ranked fifth and sixth respectively with totals of 229.7 and 142.1 points. The comments suggest they are unproven in this class of race and will need to show marked improvement to pose a serious challenge.
In conclusion, Lady Rascal appears to be the strongest contender based on total ratings and form. Fox Flame is a solid choice for a place, with Grain Of Hope and the others needing to improve to compete effectively in this field.

Based on the total ratings provided, the rankings are as follows:
- Bollin Margaret: 326.3
- Jamih: 309.8
- Purple Ice (IRE): 293.4
- Great Colaci: 286.4
- Streetscape: 267.5
- Visitant: 258.8
- Eye Knee: 235.0

- Seven For A Pound (USA): 205.1
- The Writer: 200.5
- Skedaddled (IRE): 167.2
- Cassiel (IRE): 140.0
The top contenders, based on their total ratings and comments, are:
- Bollin Margaret (326.3): This horse is a previous course and distance winner who just finished second in a race at Redcar a week ago. It appears to be in good form and has a strong chance considering it can race off the same mark. Bollin Margaret is one to watch closely given its high ratings and positive recent performance.
- Jamih (309.8): A course and distance winner who finished fourth in its last race at Beverley. Jamih will also be racing with cheekpieces on, which could potentially enhance performance. Although not as strongly tipped as Bollin Margaret, Jamih still has notable each-way claims.
- Purple Ice (IRE) (293.4): This horse recently won a handicap race at Newcastle and has only been raised 2 lb, suggesting it is still competitive. Although slightly lower on the total ratings, Purple Ice is not to be taken lightly given its recent victory.
Outside of the top-rated horses, one to mention is Streetscape (267.5). It showed a slight improvement in its latest run, finishing third in a handicap at Redcar. The move up in trip could unlock more potential, making it a horse to keep an eye on, despite its lower total rating.
In conclusion, Bollin Margaret and Jamih look set to be strong contenders based on their current form, prior course and distance success, and high total ratings. Purple Ice’s recent win puts it in good stead, but whether it can replicate this success is to be seen. Streetscape could be a dark horse, depending on how it handles the longer trip.

McDonalds Serving Breakfast 5am Till 11am Handicap
5f
This horse race at Thirsk, the McDonald’s Serving Breakfast 5am Till 11am Handicap, is expected to be competitive. After examining the ratings and race conditions, here is a detailed analysis:
- Crime Fiction (IRE) – Total rating: 348.6
Crime Fiction is at the top of our ratings. This horse recently had a career-best performance when it won a 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh. Now with cheekpieces on for the first time, it is likely to perform well again. Given its strong recent form and the highest total rating, Crime Fiction is certainly a strong contender in this race. - Cheyenne Nation (IRE) – Total rating: 261.9
Cheyenne Nation stands second in the ratings, showing a decent total score. Interestingly, this horse was the close third in the same race where Crime Fiction was the winner. Now also wearing cheekpieces for the first time, and based on the recent good form, Cheyenne Nation has potential to give a strong performance. - Jazzagal (IRE) – Total rating: 251.0
Despite coming third in our ratings, Jazzagal hasn’t shown strong recent form. After finishing last in a 7-runner nursery at Newcastle, this horse has something to prove. While its total score suggests it could be a contender, its recent performance could be a concern. - Exceed (IRE) – Total rating: 239.9
Exceed stands fourth in the ratings. It finished fourth at a handicap in Redcar, suggesting it has potential to perform decently. Although it is lower in the ratings compared to the top three, it shouldn’t be taken lightly. - Loveliest – Total rating: 222.7
Loveliest is the fifth-rated horse. As a thrice-raced maiden, it recently finished third in a seller at Beverley. As it makes its handicap debut, its performance is a bit of an unknown quantity, but its total rating suggests it has potential.
In addition to the top rated horses, it’s worth noting Desert Illusion (IRE) – Total rating: 218.1. Despite not being in the top five in terms of total rating, this horse had a good second place in a handicap at Bath. The positive comment, coupled with a respectable rating, could make it an interesting contender.
In conclusion, based on the total ratings and the comments, Crime Fiction appears to have an exceptional chance in this race given its highest total rating and recent form. Cheyenne Nation also warrants attention due to its second highest rating and the recent good form. Despite being lower in total ratings, Desert Illusion could be a surprise with its strong recent performance.
