Analysis and Assessment of Top Contenders:

1. Charlie My Boy (IRE): With the highest total rating, Charlie My Boy has shown significant improvement over hurdles for its current yard.

The combination of the horse’s form and the jockey’s skills make Charlie My Boy a strong contender.

3. Gilbertina: Gilbertina showed promise with a victory at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and performed well in subsequent races at Doncaster. However, a poor performance at Huntingdon raises some doubts, especially after a break. Nonetheless, if Gilbertina returns to her previous form, she could be a contender.

Additional Considerations:

Clapton Hill displayed potential in a comeback run at Ffos Las, and with the jockey taking off 6 pounds, the horse could be an interesting contender. Fandabidozi has shown promise in his hurdles career and should not be dismissed, especially with the return to handicapping and an increased trip.

Exceptional Chance:

Charlie My Boy stands out as a top contender based on the provided comments. The horse has shown significant improvement and recently secured a victory in a novice handicap. With the combination of form, weight advantage, and a capable jockey, Charlie My Boy should be considered a strong candidate for success in this race.

Analysis and Assessment of Top Contenders:

1. Lord Sams Castle (IRE): Lord Sams Castle has shown promise on the flat, winning twice over 7 furlongs at Newcastle. Although below form recently, the horse has the ability to be a significant factor in this race if it can handle the transition to hurdling and its stamina holds out.
2. Strike Alliance (IRE): With a strong total rating, Strike Alliance has displayed fair handicapping ability on the flat and won at Wolverhampton over 9.5 furlongs. The horse has now switched to obstacles and joins a new yard. If Strike Alliance can adapt well to hurdling, it could be a strong contender.
3. Devils Kingdom: Although Devils Kingdom has been fair on the flat, the horse’s ability to stay the distance in hurdles remains uncertain. With the transition to obstacles and a breathing operation, it is difficult to assess the horse’s chances accurately.

Additional Considerations:

Logistical has shown promise on the flat but was below form in its last outing. The horse has been gelded and switches to obstacles, making it worth monitoring. Sunrise Boy has modest form on the flat and faces a challenge in leaving that level behind in its hurdles debut. Two Past Eight represents a yard with a superb record in this sphere, and its half-brother’s success in hurdling adds some intrigue.

Exceptional Chance:

Lord Sams Castle stands out as a top contender based on the provided comments. The horse has displayed fairly useful form on the flat, and although it was below par in its recent performances, it possesses raw ability that could be a significant factor in this race. If Lord Sams Castle’s stamina holds out in its hurdling debut, it could have an exceptional chance of success.

Overall, the top contenders in this race, based on the provided ratings and comments, are Lord Sams Castle (IRE), Strike Alliance (IRE), and Devils Kingdom.
