Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the rankings of the horses in totals order:

  1. Mimi Kakushi (IRE) – 320.5
  2. Lastingham – 205.3
  3. Lady Of Africa (IRE) – 199.7
  4. Chicabiddy – 181.7
  5. Major Kessaar (IRE) – 169.3
  6. Sometimes A Lady – 53.7
  7. On Borrowed Time – 27.1

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Mimi Kakushi (IRE):
    Mimi Kakushi is the highest-rated horse according to the Timewise ratings. The comments mention that she matched her debut form with a fourth-place finish in a novice event at Newmarket. With an upward trip in distance, Mimi Kakushi sets the standard in this race and should be considered a strong contender.
  2. Lastingham:
    Lastingham’s rating and comments suggest a backward step in form, finishing eleventh in a seller at York. However, the comments mention that this race is easier, and the addition of cheekpieces may help him get back on track. Lastingham could be a contender if he can rediscover his previous form.
  3. Lady Of Africa (IRE):
    Lady Of Africa is described as a modest filly. Although she finished fifth in a claimer at Compiegne, the comments mention that this race is weak. With the addition of blinkers, Lady Of Africa could have a chance to perform better and should not be overlooked.

Additional Considerations:
Chicabiddy, Major Kessaar (IRE), Sometimes A Lady, and On Borrowed Time have comments suggesting poor form or lack of ability. However, it’s worth noting that Sometimes A Lady has a positive comment regarding her dam’s pedigree, being a half-sister to a smart winner. While not among the top contenders in the ratings, Sometimes A Lady could have some potential based on her breeding.

Special Mention:
Mimi Kakushi (IRE) stands out as having an exceptional chance based on the comments. With matching debut form and setting the standard in this race, Mimi Kakushi should be considered a strong contender.

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the rankings of the horses in totals order:

  1. Coaxing – 355.0
  2. Kodebreaker (IRE) – 331.8
  3. Fiftyshadesofred (FR) – 311.0
  4. Dandys Gold (IRE) – 272.3
  5. Martins Brig (IRE) – 262.2
  6. Rum Runner – 257.0
  7. Stripzee – 232.8
  8. Alseeyerthere – 220.3
  9. White Umbrella – 196.3

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Coaxing:
    Coaxing is the highest-rated horse according to the Timewise ratings. The comments suggest that he had a creditable second-place finish in a handicap at Southwell and is returning after a break of four months. If Coaxing can hit the ground running, he should be considered a strong contender.
  2. Kodebreaker (IRE):
    Kodebreaker is a course and distance winner. Although the comments mention a below-form sixth-place finish at Southwell, Kodebreaker’s previous performance at this track makes him worth considering. He could bounce back and be in contention.
  3. Fiftyshadesofred (FR):
    Fiftyshadesofred has not won since 2022, but the comments note that he wasn’t seen to best effect in his last race at Catterick. Despite finishing sixth, he was running on and had to wait for a gap home turn. With that in mind, Fiftyshadesofred should not be underestimated.

Additional Considerations:
Martins Brig (IRE) is highlighted in the comments as being unlucky not to win in the previous race at this course. Despite finishing second, Martins Brig encountered a lack of clear run over 1 furlong out. If the breaks go their way, Martins Brig could be a strong contender.

Special Mention:
White Umbrella is worth mentioning as the comments note that cheekpieces are being applied for the first time. Despite a ninth-place finish in the last race, White Umbrella was slowly away and may improve with the new equipment.

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the rankings of the horses in totals order:

  1. Okeanos (FR) – 333.4
  2. Biplane (USA) – 325.0
  3. Asmund (IRE) – 293.7
  4. Kats Bob – 284.1
  5. Like A Lion (IRE) – 275.0
  6. Key Look (IRE) – 271.4
  7. Darbucks (IRE) – 226.3
  8. Final Frontier (IRE) – 225.0
  9. Ratafia – 174.2

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Okeanos (FR):
    Okeanos is the highest-rated horse according to the Timewise ratings. The comments mention a respectable second-place finish at the same course, Wolverhampton, in a handicap. Although unsuited by the step up in trip, Okeanos is expected to perform well on turf debut and should be in the mix.
  2. Biplane (USA):
    Biplane’s last win was at Newcastle in May, and the comments highlight a creditable fourth-place finish at Ayr in a handicap. With recent form and the experience of handling different tracks, Biplane should be considered as a strong contender.

Additional Considerations:
Key Look (IRE) showed improvement on the reappearance when seventh in a handicap at Doncaster. The comments note that Key Look was unsuited by the drop in trip, but with the cheekpieces back on, this horse could be a sound each-way option.

Special Mention:
Like A Lion (IRE) is worth mentioning as the comments suggest that his yard is going a bit better now. Despite a fifth-place finish in the previous race, Like A Lion has been given a chance by the handicapper and should be considered with the drop in trip.

  3. Mahboobah (IRE) – 251.7

  5. Rockin Rosa – 211.8
  6. The Van Man – 177.1
  7. Sling Yer Hook – 157.3
  8. Guidance – 142.5

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Rockonmecca (IRE):
    Rockonmecca is the highest-rated horse according to the Timewise ratings. The comments mention consistent performances, including a recent third-place finish in a handicap at Ripon. With the addition of cheekpieces and blinkers, Rockonmecca is progressing gradually and has a good chance of opening her account.
  2. Senseofentitlement (IRE):
    Senseofentitlement showed improvement in the previous race, finishing fourth in a handicap at Beverley. With that form, this horse can be considered competitive in this field.

Additional Considerations:
Bay Of Hope (IRE) is worth considering as the comments indicate a step back in the right direction in the previous race. Although off for over five months, Bay Of Hope may need this outing but shouldn’t be underestimated.

Special Mention:
Rockin Rosa showed promise in a previous run and may have the potential to bounce back after a slightly disappointing fifth-place finish. Given the positive comments, Rockin Rosa should not be overlooked.

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the rankings of the horses in totals order:

  1. Wild Side (IRE) – 456.9
  2. Baryshnikov – 445.3
  3. Spirit Catcher (IRE) – 393.3

  8. Shahbaz (IRE) – 315.0
  9. Perseverants (FR) – 288.3
  10. Barley (IRE) – 265.0

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Wild Side (IRE):
    Wild Side has shown improved form this year, winning a maiden at Yarmouth and following up with a victory in a handicap at Catterick. With a good-value claimer on board, Wild Side has the potential to continue improving and may have an exceptional chance in this race.
  2. Baryshnikov:
    Baryshnikov shaped well in the previous race, finishing second at Ripon, just failing to win due to a lack of a gap. With the horse now 1 lb below its last winning mark, Baryshnikov is a major player in this race.

Additional Considerations:
Spirit Catcher (IRE) is worth considering as a course winner on debut and returning from an 8-month break. With previous placed efforts at this C&D, Spirit Catcher could be interesting back at Redcar.

Special Mention:
Mahanakhon has shown promise, including a respectable third-place finish on handicap debut at Leicester. With previous winning form, Mahanakhon should not be overlooked in this race.

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the rankings of the horses in totals order:

  1. Flying Frontier – 414.7
  2. Liseo (IRE) – 362.6

  5. My Harrison George (IRE) – 176.1

  7. Cape Point – 35.1

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Flying Frontier:
    Flying Frontier confirmed debut promise by winning a maiden at Carlisle, keeping on well and showing potential. With the horse now upped in trip, Flying Frontier has a good chance to score again.
  2. Liseo (IRE):
    Liseo showed improved form when third in a handicap at Lingfield with cheekpieces on for the first time. Respected back in novice company, Liseo could be a strong contender in this race.

Additional Considerations:
Iron Lion improved on debut form, finishing second to Flying Frontier in a maiden at Carlisle. With further progress expected and an even longer distance, Iron Lion could be a factor in this race.

Special Mention:
Carnival Times and My Harrison George (IRE) have shown some improvement in their recent runs but would need to find more to compete with the top contenders.

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the rankings of the horses in totals order:

  1. Perfect Play – 414.9
  2. Mint Edition – 380.7
  3. Orchestra (FR) – 358.3
  4. Radetsky Marsch (FR) – 347.6
  5. In The Trenches – 333.1

  7. No Barrier – 255.5
  8. El Jasor (IRE) – 231.1
  9. Gordon Grey (IRE) – 186.4

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Perfect Play:
    Perfect Play is coming off a win at Chester in May and can be forgiven for a less successful run at Epsom where the effort came too early. With a break and a return to winning ways in mind, Perfect Play is a strong contender.
  2. Mint Edition:
    Mint Edition completed a hat-trick with a win at Wolverhampton earlier this year but struggled on a different surface in the subsequent run. The key for Mint Edition is to transfer the improvement shown this year to the turf.
  3. Orchestra (FR):
    Orchestra scored a victory at Beverley and performed well with a third-place finish in a handicap at the same course. Returning to a shorter distance, Orchestra should be considered a contender.

Additional Considerations:
Radetsky Marsch (FR) has shown potential with a win at Kempton and may bounce back with cheekpieces on for the first time. In The Trenches has displayed improvement on handicap debut and could have more to offer.

Special Mention:
No Barrier ran a good race when third in a handicap at Carlisle and with cheekpieces on for the first time and an increase in trip, could be a strong contender.

Come Racing On Ladies Day Tomorrow Maiden Handicap

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the rankings of the horses in totals order:

  1. Cinque Verde – 303.7
  2. Profitable Edge (IRE) – 294.8
  3. Talha – 277.6
  4. Lolas Moment – 251.4
  5. Maggies Tern (IRE) – 251.3
  6. Stella Blue (IRE) – 251.0
  7. Grandad Bob (IRE) – 232.9
  8. Bloomin Robbery (IRE) – 213.9
  9. Your Spirit (IRE) – 210.1

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

  1. Cinque Verde:
    Cinque Verde has been consistently running well, including a recent third-place finish in a handicap at Thirsk. With eyeshields on for the first time, Cinque Verde is expected to deliver another strong performance.
  2. Profitable Edge (IRE):
    Profitable Edge is making a return after a break and a yard change. The horse wore blinkers for the first time in its last outing and finished last in a minor event at Dundalk. Market clues and the impact of the blinkers will be worth monitoring for this race.
  3. Talha:
    Talha showed promise with a second-place finish in a minor event at Hamilton in its most recent race. Making the handicap debut, Talha should be taken seriously based on the improvement shown.

Additional Considerations:
Stella Blue (IRE) demonstrated improvement with a second-place finish in a handicap at Southwell, and Lolas Moment should be closer to form after shaping better than the result in its previous outing.

Special Mention:
Maggies Tern (IRE) displayed progress with a third-place finish in a maiden at Ayr. If the horse continues to improve, it could be a contender.

Please note that this analysis is based on the provided ratings and comments. Horse racing outcomes are unpredictable, and other factors such as recent form, jockey/trainer performance, and track conditions can also influence the result of the race.
