JB - I'll add one thought. If you're not using pars what TG figs really are is a sophisticated type of Timeform rating. Who beat who by how much. Timeform doesn't figure in ground loss (many races don't have turns) but they are very much into weight.

Every year at the end of the year Timeform must recalulate their ratings in their weekly "blackbook" to determine year end ratings for the annual edition. They do that because the numbers tend to rise throughout the course of the year. The top horses end up the year at say 140 and come out at the annual at 130. I suspect that may be happening here but also suspect you would not agree.
