Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on their total ratings:

1. Got To Love A Grey – Total Rating: 627.1
   Got To Love A Grey has the highest total rating in the field. She has shown progressive form in France and won a listed race at Vichy in her last outing. With further progression expected, she should not be taken lightly.
2. Relief Rally (IRE) – Total Rating: 619.8
   Relief Rally has performed well in her previous races, winning a novice event at Windsor and following up with a good victory at Salisbury. She defeated Gaiden, who is also a strong contender, in her last race. Consideration should be given to her chances.
3. Midnight Affair (IRE) – Total Rating: 522.5
   Midnight Affair won a class 2 event at Beverley in her most recent race, finishing 1¼ lengths ahead of Flora Of Bermuda. She displayed a strong finishing kick and merits consideration based on her performance.
4. Born To Rock (IRE) – Total Rating: 491.2
   Born To Rock made an impressive winning start at Yarmouth and followed it up with a victory in a listed race at York. Although the form of her previous races has taken some knocks, her timefigure was good, suggesting she has potential.
5. Bated Moon (IRE) – Total Rating: 456.1
   Bated Moon won a maiden at Cork on debut but had a disappointing performance in a Group 3 race at Naas. Considering her form, it may be wise to focus on other stronger contenders in this field.

Based on the comments, some additional considerations can be made:

• Beautiful Diamond is mentioned as a potential contender. She won impressively on debut at Nottingham and represents a yard that won this race last year. She should be given a serious look.

3.05 Ascot (20 runners)
Kensington Palace Fillies Handicap (Rnd)
1m

Based on the Timewise ratings provided, here are the rankings in total order for the 3.05 Ascot race:

1. Tarrabb (IRE)
2. Al Agaila (IRE)
3. Belhaven (IRE)
4. Crystal Caprice (IRE)
5. Roman Mist (IRE)
6. Indian Wish (FR)
7. Lady Eros (USA)
8. Dont Tell Claire
9. Yerwanthere (IRE)
10. Farhh To Shy
11. Tamarama
12. Discretion
13. Villanova Queen (IRE)

15. Love Interest
16. Adelaise (IRE)
17. Golden Spice (USA)
18. Zenga
19. Sly Madam
20. Divine Light (IRE)

Analysis and Assessment of Top Contenders:

1. Tarrabb (IRE):
   Tarrabb holds the highest total rating and has been consistent in her performances. She won three times last year and finished second in a Chelmsford handicap on her recent outing. With her unexposed profile and good form, Tarrabb is a top contender.
2. Al Agaila (IRE):
   Al Agaila has shown solid form, including a hat-trick on the all-weather during the winter. Although her return run at Nottingham was underwhelming, it may have been a needed run. With the potential to bounce back, Al Agaila shouldn’t be overlooked.
3. Belhaven (IRE):
   Belhaven has been steadily improving, with three wins in 2022 and a recent second-place finish at Ascot. She rallied well in her previous race and is expected to give another good account. Belhaven is a strong contender in this field.
4. Crystal Caprice (IRE):
   Crystal Caprice developed into a useful filly last season, completing a hat-trick and performing well at the listed level. Although she finished fourth in her recent Ayr outing, she showed improvement from her reappearance run. Crystal Caprice can’t be discounted in this race.
5. Roman Mist (IRE):
   Roman Mist has shown good form in the past, including a victory on her yard debut. Although she hasn’t replicated that success in listed company, this race could be more suitable for her. Roman Mist is worth considering based on her previous performances.

Additional Considerations:

• Indian Wish (FR) is making her handicap debut and has shown promise with three wins in France last year. She landed a listed event at Gowran Park in May and shouldn’t be discounted, especially with a strong yard behind her.
• Tamarama resumed progress when winning at Chelmsford and followed it up with a victory at Kempton. With Frankie Dettori riding and recent good form, Tamarama has a chance to perform well.
• Don’t Tell Claire is a course and distance winner who consistently runs well at Ascot. She finished third in her previous race at this track and could be an each-way possibility.
• Farhh To Shy won a handicap at Ascot and finished ahead of Belhaven in that race. With handicapping scope and a good recent run, she deserves respect.
• Lady Eros (USA) stepped up on her comeback run with a victory at Yarmouth. She remains relatively unexposed and should be respected with a leading stable.

Please note that these rankings are based on the total ratings provided by Timewise and the comments provided about each horse.

3.40 Ascot (10 runners)
Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (Fillies
& Mares Group 2) (Str)
1m

Based on the Timewise ratings provided, here are the rankings in total order for the 3.40 Ascot race:

1. Prosperous Voyage (IRE)
2. Jumbly
3. Queen Aminatu
4. Honey Girl
5. Grande Dame
6. Internationalangel (IRE)
7. Rogue Millennium (IRE)
8. Random Harvest (IRE)
9. Lightship (IRE)
10. Potapova

Analysis and Assessment of Top Contenders:

1. Prosperous Voyage (IRE):
   Prosperous Voyage holds the highest total rating and has shown strong form in the past, including a narrow second in the 1000 Guineas. She won the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom in her latest outing, and her victory was better than the margin indicates. Prosperous Voyage is a leading player in this race.
2. Jumbly:
   Jumbly returned from a 10-month absence with an encouraging second-place finish in the Lanwades Stud Stakes at the Curragh. She previously won the Valiant Stakes at Ascot and has shown good form. With her recent run and strong performances, Jumbly is a top contender.
3. Queen Aminatu:
   Queen Aminatu is a listed winner at Lingfield and Deauville, and she completed a hat-trick with a victory at Newcastle. Although she finished third in the Chartwell Stakes in her last race, the circumstances here are likely to be more favorable for her. Queen Aminatu holds place claims in this field.
4. Honey Girl:
   Honey Girl was a useful maiden for Henry de Bromhead and has shown improvement since joining Joseph O’Brien. She won a Group 3 race over the same course and distance as this race, but was slightly disappointing in her last outing. Honey Girl shouldn’t be dismissed entirely but faces tough competition.
5. Grande Dame:
   Grande Dame won a listed race at Sandown last summer and finished third in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket. She is still fairly low-mileage and has the potential to do even better at four years old. Grande Dame is a contender worth considering.

Additional Considerations:

• Internationalangel (IRE) has shown promise, finishing as the runner-up in Group 3 races at Goodwood and Deauville. Although she didn’t perform at her best in Dubai, she could still be a threat with a career-best effort.
• Random Harvest (IRE) has been progressive and finished second to Prosperous Voyage in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes. While she needs to take another step forward to beat that rival, her recent form suggests she could be in the mix.
• Rogue Millennium (IRE) has improved this season, with a third-place finish in a Longchamp Group 3 and a close second in the Middleton Stakes at York. Although untested over this shorter trip, Rogue Millennium cannot be completely discounted.
• Potapova won the Group 3 Atalanta Stakes at Goodwood last year but has had some setbacks since. Her recent form has been underwhelming, and others may have stronger claims.

Please note that these rankings are based on the total ratings provided by Timewise and the comments provided about each horse.

4.20 Ascot (6 runners)
Prince Of Waless Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series)
1m2f

1. Luxembourg (IRE)
2. Adayar (IRE)
3. Bay Bridge
4. My Prospero (IRE)
5. Mostahdaf (IRE)
6. Classic Causeway (USA)

Analysis and Assessment of Top Contenders:

1. Luxembourg (IRE):
   Luxembourg has the highest total rating and has recorded three top-level victories in each of the past three seasons. He showed his willingness to win in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh, making the running and holding off the challenge of Bay Bridge. Luxembourg is a strong contender for another Group 1 victory.
2. Adayar (IRE):
   Adayar, the Derby and King George winner in 2021, made a comfortable winning return in the rearranged Gordon Richards Stakes. He has a strong chance of achieving another top-level success and is a serious contender in this race.
3. Bay Bridge:
   Bay Bridge is unbeaten at three years old and developed into a high-class performer last season. He finished second in this race and ended the campaign with a victory in the Champion Stakes over the same course and distance. His second-place finish in the Tattersalls Gold Cup indicates his strong form and he should be considered as a top contender.
4. My Prospero (IRE):
   My Prospero won his first two starts at three years old and finished third in the St James’s Palace Stakes at this meeting. He showed promise when stepping up to 10 furlongs, winning a Group 2 race in France and finishing third in the Champion Stakes. His encouraging reappearance in the Lockinge and return to this trip make him a contender to watch.

Additional Considerations:

• Mostahdaf (IRE) won a Group 3 race in February and finished fourth in the Dubai Sheema Classic. While he may not have the highest total rating, his recent form suggests he could be a factor in the race.
• Classic Causeway (USA) won the Belmont Derby last summer but has struggled to replicate that success. His fourth-place finish in the Grade 3 Arlington Stakes doesn’t make him a strong contender in this competitive field.

Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Str)
1m

Here are the rankings in totals order for the Royal Hunt Cup based on the Timewise ratings provided:

1. Dunum (IRE)
2. Ghaly
3. Chasing Aphrodite
4. Awaal (IRE)
5. Jimi Hendrix (IRE)
6. Tempus

24. Bear Force One
25. Ouzo
26. Aerion Power (IRE)
27. Dual Identity (IRE)
28. Light And Dark
29. Orbaan
30. Perotto

Analysis and Assessment of Top Contenders:

1. Dunum (IRE):
   Dunum has shown progressive form, winning on his reappearance at Limerick and finishing an excellent second of 20 at the Curragh. With a strong total rating and recent good performances, he enters the Royal Hunt Cup as a top contender.
2. Ghaly:
   Ghaly is a lightly raced 7-year-old who has shown his best form in the second half of 2022 with victories at York and Newmarket. Trained by a yard that won this race in 2021 and with Oisin Murphy booked, Ghaly poses a strong challenge.
3. Chasing Aphrodite:
   Chasing Aphrodite displayed improved form after undergoing wind surgery, winning a big-field handicap over the Royal Hunt Cup distance at Ascot. With limited starts, there is potential for further improvement, making Chasing Aphrodite a contender to watch.
4. Awaal (IRE):
   Awaal delivered an excellent second-place finish of 22 in the Lincoln at Doncaster on his reappearance. Although he may have been fatigued when finishing last of 9 in a French Group 3, his previous form suggests he can resume his progression after a short break.
5. Jimi Hendrix (IRE):
   Jimi Hendrix demonstrated promise when he comfortably won the Newbury Spring Mile, but the blinkers didn’t work as effectively in his subsequent start. Nonetheless, his third-place finish in the Britannia at the Royal meeting last year indicates his ability to perform well in a race of this nature.

Additional Considerations:

• Reach For The Moon finished second in the Hampton Court Stakes at the Royal meeting last year and is now switching to handicap company. With some questions to answer, he remains a talented contender who could bounce back strongly.
• Positive, as a Group 3 winner as a juvenile, has shown his ability with handicap wins on the all-weather circuit. Despite a disappointing performance at Newcastle, his previous form suggests he is a horse to consider.
• Intellogent finished second in this race last year and has shown promise in both a Group 3 and a handicap on his recent starts. His experience and similar mark to last year make him a horse not to be dismissed.
• Bless Him, a previous winner of the Britannia over the same course and distance, has demonstrated his competitiveness in top-end handicaps. His recent outings at Newbury suggest he is well-prepared for this race.
• Sonny Liston, despite a change of yard, showed promise with a decent performance in a Newbury handicap. The booking of Ryan Moore and possible blinkers could
• help him improve and be a horse to watch in the Royal Hunt Cup.
• Special Mention:
• Dunum (IRE) deserves a special mention as the top-ranked horse in the Timewise ratings. With a strong recent performance and progressive form, Dunum enters the race with a high level of confidence and potential.
• It’s important to note that these rankings and assessments are based solely on the Timewise ratings and the provided comments. Other factors such as jockey form, trainer records, track conditions, and race tactics should also be taken into consideration when making final predictions and decisions.

13. Hadrianus (IRE) – 373.1
14. Steven Seagull – 212.4

Analysis and Assessment:

1. Gregory: With the highest total rating, Gregory is the top-ranked horse in this race. He has shown impressive form, winning a listed race at Goodwood convincingly. The step up in trip should suit him well, and with Frankie Dettori on board, he poses a strong threat.
2. Peking Opera (IRE): Coming off a recent victory at Navan, Peking Opera has shown progress and has the potential to excel at this longer distance. With previous form over the field, he is a contender to watch.
3. Chesspiece: After a winning start last year, Chesspiece has shown consistent improvement. His last victory in a handicap at York demonstrated his staying ability, and he looks set to handle the longer trip in this race.
4. Etna Rosso (IRE): Having won on debut and finished second in a listed contest, Etna Rosso has displayed promise. While facing tougher competition here, further progress can’t be ruled out.

Special Mention:

• Circle of Fire: Despite being lower in the rankings, Circle of Fire deserves a special mention due to his highly promising profile. He has shown progress in each outing, including an impressive victory at Salisbury and a third-place finish in a Derby Trial at Lingfield. With the step up in trip, he could be a dark horse in this race.

Additional Considerations:

• St Vincents Garden (IRE): Although ranked lower, St Vincents Garden’s recent maiden win suggests he could handle the longer distance. While facing tougher competition, he might be suited by the trip and could surprise in the race.

It’s important to consider other factors such as jockey form, trainer records, track conditions, and race tactics when making final predictions and decisions.

13. Mayo Neighs (IRE) – 381.8
14. Fusterlandia (IRE) – 367.7
15. Ganesha – 355.0

Analysis and Assessment:

1. Maximum Impact: With the highest total rating, Maximum Impact is the top-ranked horse in this race. He has shown excellent form, winning impressively on debut at Leicester and following up with a victory over the same course and distance. He sets the standard and has a strong chance of continuing his winning streak.
2. World Of Darcy (IRE): Coming off a good performance in the National Stakes at Sandown, where he finished ahead of the rest of the field behind a smart winner, World Of Darcy is a contender to watch. His previous victory at Pontefract adds to his credentials, and he could pose a challenge to Maximum Impact.
3. Action Point (IRE): Despite being ranked lower, Action Point has shown promise with a decisive debut victory at Kempton and a second-place finish over the course and distance in subsequent runs. Although he lacks experience, he cannot be overlooked.

Additional Considerations:

• Hala Emaraaty (IRE): With two wins from two starts, Hala Emaraaty has displayed potential. However, his form has been achieved in lower-grade races, and he faces a step up in class here. He could still be a factor with further improvement.
• Supersonic Man: Although ranked fifth, Supersonic Man’s victory at Tipperary and subsequent outing in the National Stakes at Sandown, where he fared well against stronger competition, make him worth considering as a dark horse in this race.

Special Mention:

• Bombay Bazaar: Despite being ranked sixth, Bombay Bazaar deserves a special mention. With progressive form and a strong finish in his recent wins at Beverley and back at that venue, he could be a lively contender in this competitive race.

It’s important to consider other factors such as jockey form, trainer records, track conditions, and race tactics when making final predictions and decisions.
