Analysis of my pick of Tuesday’s meetings, based on theTimewise ratings: (In race-time order)

·

2.10 Salisbury (9 runners)
Queen Elizabeth II Forty-Four Winners
At Salisbury EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 1)

6f

The horse race at 2.10 Salisbury consists of nine 2-year-old horses, with the majority of them new to racing. Let’s delve into the analysis, beginning with the top-ranked horses based on their total ratings.

  1. Sky Wizard (IRE): Leading the pack with a total score of 349.7, Sky Wizard is a promising candidate. He is noted to be a promising type and finished third in a minor event at Windsor on his debut 15 days ago. The fact that he has already shown a strong performance and is considered to have more potential bodes well for his chances in this race.
  2. Jungle Mac (IRE): At a respectable 272.2 total points, Jungle Mac stands second in the ratings. Although he finished sixth on his debut, it’s important to note that he was the favourite in that race and wasn’t pushed too hard. The expectation is that he has more to offer, making him a horse to watch out for in this race.

Looking beyond the total ratings, we have some unranked horses with positive comments which should be given due consideration:

  • Magic Fluke (IRE): This newcomer from a top yard is a Dandy Man colt and a half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Amalfi Coast. Given his pedigree and the reputation of his stable, Magic Fluke could potentially be a surprise package in this race.
  • Equity Law: This first foal of a 5f winner has an impressive pedigree with relatives who were both smart 6f winners. Given the well-known background, this horse could have a positive influence on the race.
  • Love Yours (IRE): With a noteworthy pedigree, this Invincible Spirit filly out of a smart winner up to 1m could be one to keep an eye on.

To conclude, while the top-ranked horses such as Sky Wizard and Jungle Mac seem to have a good chance given their total ratings and prior race performance, the newcomers Magic Fluke, Equity Law, and Love Yours are ones to watch due to their impressive pedigrees.

2.20 Brighton (6 runners)
BresBet Rewards Loyalty Restricted
Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

6f

  1. Royal Blaze: With Grey Gray out, Royal Blaze takes the top spot with a rating of 313.9. After finishing fifth in its debut at Goodwood, it’s expected that it would offer more in this race, holding leading claims.
  2. Professor Tickle: In the second position with a rating of 242.0, Professor Tickle had a slow start in its debut at Hamilton but could improve in this race.
  3. Grise (IRE): Grise moves up to the third position with a rating of 238.6. The horse showed potential in its last race at Compiegne, leading for a long way before securing third place. Dropping to 6f, Grise is likely to make a bold bid.
  4. Justahunch: Despite having a lower rating of 67.0, as a newcomer, Justahunch is worth watching. Given its pedigree, it might bring a surprise in this race.
  5. Battleofbaltimore: This newcomer, Battleofbaltimore, has the lowest rating at 39.2. The betting should guide expectations for this horse. It’s worth noting that it’s a half-brother to 5f winner Grace Angel.

In conclusion, Royal Blaze now stands as the top contender, with Professor Tickle and Grise (IRE) likely offering strong competition. The newcomers, Justahunch and Battleofbaltimore, could potentially upset the field, adding an element of unpredictability to this race.

2.40 Salisbury (9 runners)
Queen Elizabeth II Forty-Four Winners
At Salisbury EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 2)

6f 

Based on the Timewise ratings, here is a detailed analysis of the upcoming 2.40 Salisbury race. The focus is primarily on the total ratings with additional considerations based on the horse’s comments.

  1. Vaha (277.8) – Vaha tops the list with a total rating of 277.8. The horse was bred for longer distances and seemed too inexperienced in its debut at Goodwood, finishing eighth of 11. Despite having the highest rating, Vaha might need more experience before he truly shines on the track. His greenness during his debut could suggest that he needs more seasoning before fully realising his potential.
  2. Johnny Johnson (263.1) – With a rating of 263.1, Johnny Johnson ranks second. The horse showed speed in his debut at Bath, finishing fifth of 11. This early display of speed is promising, suggesting that the horse might improve with more races under his belt.
  3. American Tale (244.7) – In third place, we have American Tale with a rating of 244.7. The horse only managed seventh at Leicester recently and seems to be maintaining his form rather than showing improvement. Nonetheless, his high rating should not be overlooked.
  4. Mullazem (IRE) (235.3) – Mullazem is next with a rating of 235.3. He showed potential in his debut at Yarmouth, and he’s expected to make progress in this race. Given that he is anticipated to learn from his first race, there is a good chance that we will see an improved performance this time.
  5. Quickfire (220.0) – Quickfire rounds out the top five with a rating of 220.0. He finished seventh in his debut at Newbury, and there is little in the way of comments to suggest significant improvement in this race.

Beyond the top five, it’s worth highlighting the two unraced horses, Dragon Leader and Likleman. While they lack ratings due to no previous runs, their comments hint at potential.

Dragon Leader is an El Kabeir colt whose dam was a 5.7f-1m winner in Britain/US. Given this background, he may well be a factor in this race.

Likleman is another newcomer to keep an eye on. He is a Footstepsinthesand colt and half-brother to the useful winner Koy Koy. The booking of Murphy for this race suggests a potentially strong debut.

In summary, while the ratings favour Vaha, Johnny Johnson, and American Tale, the comments point to the possible improvement from Mullazem and exciting debuts from Dragon Leader and Likleman.

3.30 Southwell (11 runners)
GB Civils Handicap
1m

For the 3.30 Southwell race, the Timewise ratings place Trip To Rome, Band Of Steel, and Come Together as the top contenders. Here’s the detailed analysis:

  1. Trip To Rome (452.7): Having shown an impressive performance in its previous race at Kempton, where it achieved a career-best, easily winning an 11-runner minor event, this lightly-raced winner holds promise. It is making its handicap debut and is very much one to consider, especially given its high total ratings. The recent win signifies strong form, and therefore Trip To Rome presents an exceptional chance in this race.
  2. Band Of Steel (373.0): This is another lightly-raced winner. However, its last outing at the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket resulted in a disappointing eighth position. Coming off an 8-month break, Band Of Steel is set to make its handicap debut and is equipped with a hood and tongue strap for the first time. Although it’s high in total ratings, it seems more will be required from this horse to take top honours.
  3. Come Together (358.5): Despite a last-place finish in its most recent handicap at Goodwood, Come Together could bounce back in this race. The horse is set to run with blinkers for the first time, which might bring about an improvement in performance. The ratings suggest this horse has potential, but a turnaround is necessary to take top spot.

An additional mention is deserved by Metahorse and Little Edi. Metahorse, with a lower total rating, recently made a good fifth position at York and is on the upgrade. This horse is making its tapeta debut and merits serious consideration, especially as it’s running off a 2 lb lower mark. Little Edi, on the other hand, had a creditable third position in a handicap at this course just 33 days ago, making it a noteworthy contender.

In conclusion, Trip To Rome, Band Of Steel, and Come Together are the top contenders based on the ratings, with additional consideration for Metahorse and Little Edi due to their recent forms. Of these, Trip To Rome stands out as having a particularly good chance given its recent win and top rating.

4.10 Salisbury (6 runners)
Shipseys Marquees Fillies Handicap
1m 

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here’s an in-depth analysis of the upcoming 4.10 Salisbury race. This analysis primarily focuses on the total ratings, with supplementary considerations based on the comments about each horse.

  1. Confils (FR) (362.1) – Topping the list with a rating of 362.1, Confils has been in good form this year, with two wins from four runs. Her last outing resulted in a career-best win at Brighton, making her a formidable contender in this race. Despite a 3 lb rise since her last win, she remains one to watch.
  2. D Day Odette (335.6) – Second in the rankings with a total of 335.6, D Day Odette managed a win at Lingfield in January and recently came third in a handicap at Brighton. Now significantly back down in trip, her adaptability and consistency suggest that she’s a serious contender.
  3. Lordsbridge Girl (325.0) – Coming in third with a rating of 325.0, Lordsbridge Girl has also managed two wins this year. She showed a need for a stiffer test during her recent third-place finish at Yarmouth, which could play to her advantage with the trip back up in this race.
  4. New Heights (293.5) – Ranking fourth with a score of 293.5, New Heights finished fourth in a handicap at Sandown last time out. Now dropped to a handy mark, there’s room for this horse to perform well in this race.
  5. Alyara (262.1) – Completing the top five with a rating of 262.1, Alyara was below form in her latest race at Chepstow, finishing fifth. However, with cheekpieces back on and if she can overcome her latest effort, she might give a good account of herself in this race.

Outside the top five, we have Ascraeus who has the lowest rating, but his performance might improve in this race given he possibly needed the run last time after a 4-month break.

In summary, Confils and D Day Odette, the top-ranked horses, seem to be the most promising contenders based on their high ratings and positive comments. Lordsbridge Girl’s recent form indicates that she might benefit from the increased trip in this race. New Heights, lowered to a more favourable mark, and Alyara, with the return of cheekpieces, also offer intrigue beyond the ratings.

4.40 Salisbury (10 runners)
Sixties Icon Standing At Norman
Court Stud Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

1m4f

Here is an analysis of the upcoming 4.40 Salisbury race. This evaluation focuses first on the total Timewise ratings, supplemented by comments about each horse’s recent performances.

  1. Roaring Legend (FR) (347.3) – With the highest total rating of 347.3, Roaring Legend comes into the race in good form. His last run resulted in a respectable second place at Ripon. Now up in trip and with the addition of cheekpieces for the first time, he’s a strong contender likely to be near the front.
  2. Savanna King (345.1) – Close behind with a rating of 345.1, Savanna King has only raced twice, finishing sixth in a maiden at Newmarket in his last outing. He’s stepping up in distance, which may bring about improvement, though he lacks a notable positive comment in his profile.
  3. Story Horse (285.4) – With a total of 285.4, Story Horse comes in third. Last out, he finished fourth in a maiden at Newbury. Stepping up in trip, his chances should not be discounted, especially with the expectation of improvement from just two previous races.
  4. Talisman (278.9) – Ranking fourth with a score of 278.9, Talisman has only raced once before, finishing fifth in a maiden at Newbury. He’s been off the track for some time, but he is certainly open to improvement and might offer a surprise.
  5. Seahouses (262.4) – In fifth place with a total of 262.4, Seahouses finished sixth in his last event at this course. Stepping up in trip, progress should be anticipated from this twice-raced gelding.

Despite being sixth in the total ratings, Liable (255.7) deserves a special mention. Considered a promising type, he finished third in a maiden at Yarmouth just 12 days ago, and with more expected, he could be a key player here.

To summarise, Roaring Legend and Savanna King, the top-rated horses, appear to be the most compelling contenders based on their high ratings. However, horses like Liable, despite not being top-rated, also show potential based on their promising past performances. Story Horse and Talisman, both relatively inexperienced, could improve significantly on their previous runs. Finally, Seahouses, with race experience at this course, might benefit from the increased trip.

5.05 Southwell (11 runners)
Next Generation Fillies Handicap
7f

Based on the Timewise ratings provided, the top five contenders in order of their total ratings are Ceanna, A Taste Of Honey, Lady Nagin (IRE), Fleurir, and Slainte Mhath. Let’s delve deeper into their chances.

  1. Ceanna – Topping the list with a total rating of 394.1, Ceanna is a previous course and distance winner, which is always a positive. She didn’t fare well at Newmarket in her last race, but the comment suggests that she was too eager after a five-month layoff. There’s a reasonable chance she could perform better here, and thus she remains a solid contender.
  2. A Taste Of Honey – Close behind Ceanna with a total rating of 393.3, A Taste Of Honey’s recent form is a mix. She managed a victory at Lingfield but only finished sixth in her last race at Catterick. However, she’s having cheekpieces for the first time, which could potentially enhance her focus and performance, thus warranting consideration.
  3. Lady Nagin (IRE) – Lady Nagin has a total rating of 367.2. She’s another horse that won here before and though she was seventh at Wolverhampton in her last outing, the comments suggest she’s likely to bounce back, particularly since she has a history of performing well on this course.
  4. Fleurir – With a total rating of 356.5, Fleurir is a thrice-raced maiden who hasn’t shown her best yet. She was fifth at Windsor in her last race, but is making her handicap debut and should not be discounted.
  5. Slainte Mhath – Slainte Mhath comes in with a total rating of 323.7. He’s in good form this year with two wins from five runs. Despite the recent 5lb rise after his win at Hamilton, he’s expected to remain competitive.

In addition to these top-rated contenders, I would like to draw attention to Tartan Skirt (IRE). Despite being 6th in the total ratings order, the comments suggest that she wasn’t seen to her best effect in her last race due to not getting a clear run, and she’s with a new yard now which could bring about improvement. She’s also wearing a visor for the first time, which might help her focus.

In conclusion, based on the ratings and the comments provided, the race seems to be highly competitive with several potential contenders. Ceanna and A Taste Of Honey appear to be particularly strong competitors, given their high ratings and previous performances. Meanwhile, Tartan Skirt (IRE) could be the dark horse who surprises us all.

5.10 Salisbury (8 runners)
Sorvio Insurance Brokers Margadale
Fillies Handicap

1m2f

This race is a fillies handicap over 1 mile 2 furlongs (2181 yards), and it seems to have attracted a competitive field. I will provide a report using the total ratings to rank the horses, and will also consider any additional factors based on the comments provided. Here are the rankings in order of the total ratings:

  1. Timeless Melody (IRE): With a total rating of 434.2, Timeless Melody leads the rankings. The horse appears to be stepping up in trip following a below-par effort at Ascot. Despite this, she had shown significant improvement at Leicester previously, so it’s hoped Ascot was a minor blip. She seems to be a strong contender, given her connections are hopeful and her trainer, William Haggas, carries the ‘Hot Trainer’ Flag.
  2. Spirit Of The Bay (IRE): Ranked second with a total rating of 422.2. She recently resumed winning ways at Haydock following a drop in the weights. With only a 5lb rise since then, she is a serious contender given she performed well from a similar mark at Sandown last year.
  3. Totnes (IRE): Coming in third with a rating of 409.8, Totnes ran creditably at Newmarket last time. She’s early in her career and might see further improvement with the longer trip in this race.
  4. Spring Fever: Holding a total rating of 397.4, she showed improved form when making a successful handicap debut at Redcar, and her impressive victory suggests she’s capable of handling a 7lb rise in the weights. This unexposed horse, trained by the ‘Hot Trainer’ Flag bearers, John and Thady Gosden, is expected to keep progressing.
  5. Dayzee (IRE): With a rating of 395.8, Dayzee showed improvement on her handicap debut at Southwell and looks promising, though more will be required after a 10-week break.
  6. Alba Longa: At a total of 377.4, Alba Longa achieved a career-best effort at Windsor. However, a higher mark this time could pose a challenge.
  7. Gentle Whinny (IRE): With a total rating of 316.1, she had some excuses for underperforming at Newmarket. However, more could be expected from her when her sights are lowered.
  8. Haughty: With the lowest total rating of 224.2, Haughty appears to have struggled in her recent outings.

From the comments, special mentions should be made about Timeless Melody and Spring Fever. Timeless Melody showed good form at Leicester and has the potential to bounce back from the disappointing outing at Ascot. Spring Fever, on the other hand, seems to be a strong contender given her improved form at Redcar and the fact that she is being trained by the in-form Gosden team. Both these horses could have an exceptional chance based on the comments.

5.20 Ayr (8 runners)
racingtv.com Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
6f

Looking at the Timewise ratings, we can establish a ranking order for the horses participating in the 5.20 Ayr race:

  1. Dark Points (IRE) – Total Rating: 245.2
    Dark Points leads the field in the Timewise ratings. However, the horse finished last in its previous race at Musselburgh and needs to show significant improvement. Though rated highly, performance comments suggest caution.
  2. Showboated – Total Rating: 238.5
    Showboated follows closely in second place. The horse didn’t impress in its debut race at York, finishing last. An improvement is necessary for it to compete effectively in this race.
  3. Havanarama – Total Rating: 238.0
    With a rating closely following Showboated, Havanarama is third in the ratings. The horse showed some ability on its debut at Chester but was a bit disappointing when moved up to this trip at the same course. Given the experience and potential shown, Havanarama enters calculations here.
  4. Strong Request – Total Rating: 221.7
    Ranked fourth in the ratings, Strong Request had a disappointing debut at Ripon, finishing last. Even though the horse has appeal on pedigree, a significant step-up in form is required.

Among the lower-rated horses, some comments suggest potential that isn’t necessarily reflected in their ratings:

  • Rosenzoo (IRE) – Total Rating: 141.7
    Rosenzoo is a newcomer to the racing scene. The horse is a half-brother to several winners and is expected to be taken seriously on its racecourse bow, despite a lower total rating.
  • Ballymount Boy (IRE) – Total Rating: 83.6
    Another newcomer, Ballymount Boy, is a half-brother to 3 winners. A market check is advised on this horse’s debut, indicating potential not reflected in the current ratings.
  • Indivar (IRE) – Total Rating: 63.7
    Indivar is closely related to the useful 1m winner Loch Lundie, making this newcomer worth noting, despite the low rating.

In conclusion, although Dark Points (IRE) leads in the Timewise ratings, the horse’s recent performance suggests caution. Havanarama may have an edge among the top-rated horses, having demonstrated some ability. Newcomers like Rosenzoo (IRE), Ballymount Boy (IRE), and Indivar (IRE) could offer surprise performances. As ever in horse racing, past performance and ratings do not guarantee future results, so these assessments should be taken as part of a wider analysis.

5.35 Southwell (12 runners)
Ten Grand Kids Handicap
1m4f 

Sure, based on the provided Timewise ratings and the comments for each horse, I’ll analyse this horse race:

Based on the total Timewise ratings, the horses rank as follows:

  1. Bit Harsh (IRE) – 428.4
  2. Golden Keeper – 376.2
  3. Charlie Arthur (IRE) – 372.5
  4. Natchez Trace – 360.9
  5. Arcadian Friend – 353.8
  6. Down To The Kid (IRE) – 327.8
  7. Victory (IRE) – 297.3
  8. Typical Woman – 296.7
  9. Carlos Felix (IRE) – 276.5
  10. Ebony Maw – 270.1
  11. Golden Dove – 249.6
  12. Mhajim (IRE) – 235.5

Now, let’s delve into a more detailed analysis of the top contenders:

1. Bit Harsh (IRE) – Top of the ratings, with a strong performance in its previous races this year, which includes 2 wins. The recent break could potentially affect the performance, but Bit Harsh holds good claims at these weights and is expected to perform well.

2. Golden Keeper – Second in the rankings and a previous course and distance winner. The last race did not go well, so a bounce back is needed, but the strong rating indicates potential.

3. Charlie Arthur (IRE) – Ranks third and has been a 5-time course winner, which shows familiarity and comfort with the track. However, it’s been off for 9 months, which could impact its performance.

4. Natchez Trace – Fourth in the rankings and a previous course and distance winner. Despite a poor performance in the latest race, the potential for a good account is still there.

5. Arcadian Friend – Fifth place but showing significant potential. After an 8-month break, Arcadian Friend gave an encouraging performance in its recent handicap race. Given its low mileage and previous 1m4f win, we can expect a big step forward.

From the horses not in the top of the ratings, one that stands out is Typical Woman. The recent good performance at Newbury (third of 18), combined with making her tapeta debut, indicates potential despite not having the highest total ratings.

So, based on the given total ratings and the individual horse comments, Bit Harsh (IRE) and Arcadian Friend look like the ones with an exceptional chance in this race. However, horse racing is unpredictable, and factors such as recent form, jockey performance, and weather conditions on the race day can significantly affect the outcomes.

5.45 Salisbury (5 runners)
D & N Construction Handicap
1m4f

For the 5.45 Salisbury race, the Timewise ratings suggest that the top contenders are Spring Glow, Millions Memories, and Luckys Dream. Let’s delve into the analysis.

  1. Spring Glow (357.4): Coming back from a 6-month break, Spring Glow placed sixth in an 18-runner handicap at Newbury on debut for the new yard just 25 days ago. Given that it was the first race after a considerable break, Spring Glow is expected to build on that performance. It holds solid claims based on the total ratings and recent form, suggesting an exceptional chance in this race.
  2. Millions Memories (285.0): Despite being below par in the last two races, Millions Memories did make an encouraging return at Brighton in April and had his best effort last year when he finished third in a course and distance handicap, even when rated 5 lb higher. It appears that Millions Memories could spring back into form in this race, making it a contender not to overlook.
  3. Luckys Dream (259.8): Luckys Dream has been prolific on the All-Weather tracks but has a less impressive strike rate on turf. Also, the fact that it hasn’t been seen for 20 months suggests that it might be better to watch this horse’s performance on its return, rather than anticipate a top finish.

Additionally, Sea Of Charm, despite not being among the top three in terms of total ratings, warrants a mention based on the comments. Sea Of Charm was a disappointment in its only start over hurdles for Barry Brennan but has made the frame on several occasions on the Flat for the previous yard. As it debuts for new connections, it could be a potential surprise packet in this race.

In summary, Spring Glow, Millions Memories, and Luckys Dream are the top contenders based on the ratings, with Sea Of Charm also in consideration due to its previous form on the Flat. The comments suggest that Spring Glow, having recently returned from a break, stands a particularly good chance in this race.

7.00 Ayr (7 runners)
Luxury Staycations At Western House Hotel Handicap
1m

Here is the analysis of the Luxury Staycations At Western House Hotel Handicap at Ayr, based on the provided Timewise ratings:

  1. Painters Palette (IRE): This horse ranks top in Timewise ratings with a total of 413.1. Painters Palette boasts two wins from three runs this year. Despite a sixth-place finish at Ripon, the horse performed better than the bare result suggests, which means it is likely to have strong claims in this race.
  2. Garden Oasis: With a total of 372.1, Garden Oasis comes second in the ratings. This course and distance (C&D) winner posted a creditable performance at Pontefract recently, hinting at solid claims for this race.
  3. Hortzadar: Ranking third with a total of 361.0, Hortzadar had a commendable run at this course and distance just 20 days ago. If this horse can build on that performance, it could certainly be a significant player in this race.
  4. Tilsitt (FR): Tilsitt, another C&D winner, ranks fourth with a total of 348.9. Despite finishing fifth in a recent handicap at this course, the horse’s C&D success cannot be dismissed lightly.

Additional considerations based on positive comments of horses not in the ratings order:

  • Rory: Although not among the top four in ratings, Rory deserves a mention due to his recent creditable performance at this course and distance. The horse may not be the easiest to win with, but given the right conditions, it’s certainly one to consider.

In conclusion, while Painters Palette (IRE) and Garden Oasis top the ratings and show promise based on their recent form, Hortzadar and Tilsitt (FR) have demonstrated good form and potential at this course. Additionally, keep an eye on Rory due to his recent creditable performance at this course and distance.

7.55 Wetherby (8 runners)
Best Dressed Handicap
1m

The analysis of the 7.55 race at Wetherby racecourse is as follows:

  1. Star Shield: With the highest Total Rating of 362.4, Star Shield is a strong contender. The horse had its latest win at Ayr in May and ran a respectable fifth in its most recent race 20 days ago at Ayr, proving that it has the potential to put in a strong performance. The horse is regarded as a solid each-way player.
  2. Starshiba: Following closely in second place with a Total Rating of 349.3, Starshiba is another strong contender. Despite its poor performance at York 25 days ago, Starshiba has had a win at Newcastle in March. Although yet to win on turf, it is expected to be a serious contender in this class 5 race.
  3. Beltane: With a Total Rating of 347.3, Beltane is also in the mix. Having one win from two runs this year, and showing a good performance 13 days ago at Beverley where it finished third, Beltane is seen to enter the calculations despite a slight 2 lb increase.

Further down the list but worth mentioning based on the additional comments is Vindobala. Vindobala has not had the best recent form, being labelled as an unreliable type and finishing thirteenth in its last outing. However, the horse wasn’t seen to best effect last time and had no room over 2f out. This suggests that it may perform better if it gets a clear run.

In conclusion, based on the Total Ratings and the comments, Star Shield and Starshiba are the top contenders in this race, with Beltane also offering a good chance. However, it’s also worth keeping an eye on Vindobala who could offer some value given its potential to improve on recent outings.

8.30 Wetherby (5 runners)
Start Your Racing TV Free Trial
Now Fillies Handicap

1m2f

Based on the Timewise ratings provided for the 8.30 Wetherby race, the horses can be ranked as follows:

  1. Angels Landing (328.7)
  2. Ragosina (278.3)
  3. Purnika (263.7)
  4. Flight Of Angels (261.2)
  5. Canadiansmokeshow (244.5)

Angels Landing, with the highest total rating of 328.7, recently put up a commendable performance at Nottingham, finishing second and demonstrating that she’s in good form. With no change in her mark and a 7-lb claimer now in the saddle, she seems well-placed for another solid performance and is one to watch closely.

Ragosina comes next with a rating of 278.3. Despite being a lightly-raced maiden, her recent second place at Pontefract suggests that she has potential. The comment indicates that she still appeared a bit green, which suggests she could have more to offer as she gains experience. Ragosina should not be overlooked.

Purnika, third in our list with a rating of 263.7, is also a thrice-raced maiden. Despite finishing eighth in her latest outing at Haydock, the comment suggests a notable change in her circumstances. She will be going up in trip for her handicap debut and will also be fitted with a hood for the first time. These changes could potentially improve her performance.

Flight Of Angels, who ranks fourth with a rating of 261.2, appears to be getting back on track based on her latest run at Redcar where she finished fifth. Being a lightly-raced maiden, she might still have some untapped potential.

Canadiansmokeshow has the lowest rating at 244.5. The comment indicates that while she performed to a consistent level in her 2-year-old starts, she has been below form in both outings this term. The move up in trip might have some impact, but based on the ratings and her recent form, she may struggle in this race.

In summary, Angels Landing and Ragosina emerge as the top contenders based on their high Timewise ratings and recent performances. Purnika also warrants some attention due to the changes in trip and equipment for her handicap debut.

8.45 Ayr (10 runners)
Dream Weddings At Western House Hotel Handicap
7f 

Here is the analysis of the Dream Weddings At Western House Hotel Handicap at Ayr, based on the provided Timewise ratings:

  1. Ahamoment (IRE): Topping the Timewise ratings with a total of 349.2, Ahamoment produced a career-best performance when winning a 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh recently. The horse faces a fair 4 lb rise but another bold bid is anticipated.
  2. Chookie Dunedin: With a total of 345.4, Chookie Dunedin ranks second in the ratings. This course and distance (C&D) winner showed good form at Catterick recently and figures off a handy mark. This horse definitely belongs to the shortlist.
  3. Classy Al: In third place with a total of 339.3, Classy Al is another C&D winner, despite a recent slow start at this C&D. If this horse can reclaim its best form, it has definite claims in this race.
  4. Emily Post: Emily Post is fourth in the ratings with a total of 334.0. This horse had a creditable second run at Wetherby recently after changing trainers. If she can build on that, she may pose a significant threat.

Additional considerations based on positive comments of horses not in the ratings order:

  • Merricourt (IRE): Despite not ranking in the top four in terms of ratings, Merricourt merits consideration due to a good performance at Musselburgh, where it came second to Ahamoment. This C&D winner could potentially put up a strong performance.

In conclusion, while Ahamoment (IRE) and Chookie Dunedin top the ratings and show promising recent form, Classy Al and Emily Post have also demonstrated good form and could potentially impact this race. Additionally, Merricourt (IRE) should be given attention due to its solid performance at Musselburgh recently.
