10. Burnage Boy (IRE) – 186.0

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Joie De Vivre (IRE): Joie De Vivre comes into this race with the highest total rating. Although he has shown little worthwhile form in hurdles, his recent victory at Bangor suggests he is improving and could have more to offer. With a good performance on his first start for the current yard, Joie De Vivre should be considered as a leading contender.
2. Bergentown (IRE): Bergentown impressed on his first start for the current yard when winning at Bangor. Previously, he had shown little form in hurdles in Ireland, but the comment suggests that he could have more to offer now. With a well-deserved victory under his belt, Bergentown should be in the mix for this race.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

• Malangen (IRE): Despite being out of form during the autumn and failing to build on his reappearance, the comment suggests that Malangen is very well handicapped based on his previous successes. If he can find his form from last summer, he could be a factor in this race.

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Joie De Vivre (IRE) stands out as the horse with an exceptional chance based on the positive comments. With recent improvement and a victory to his name, Joie De Vivre should be considered as the top pick in this race.

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

1. Classic Lady (IRE) – 349.9
2. Grand Du Nord (FR) – 312.5
3. Buto – 303.9
4. Blame Rose (IRE) – 278.5
5. Pipers Cross (IRE) – 264.7
6. Elusive Red (IRE) – 230.4
7. Fairland (IRE) – 196.2
8. Comeonrita – 196.6

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Classic Lady (IRE): Classic Lady comes into this race with the highest total rating. She has shown much improved form recently, winning her last race under cheekpieces and carrying a heavy weight. With her recent performance and the cheekpieces retained, Classic Lady is a strong contender for this race.
2. Grand Du Nord (FR): Grand Du Nord has been fairly consistent in handicap hurdles and showed good form when second in a 3m Wetherby handicap. However, in his last run, he was below par in a C&D maiden. With a higher weight and back in a handicap, Grand Du Nord will need to bounce back to his previous level of form.
3. Buto: Buto secured his first win in a C&D handicap under the same rider who is aboard for this race. He followed that up with a respectable performance behind Classic Lady. With the jockey back up and recent form on his side, Buto should be considered as a strong contender.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

• Blame Rose (IRE): Blame Rose didn’t have a favorable debut in a handicap, but the comment suggests that the longer trip may suit her better. With the potential for improvement and the benefit of the longer distance, Blame Rose shouldn’t be disregarded.

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Classic Lady (IRE) stands out as the horse with an exceptional chance based on the positive comments. With her recent improvement and strong win, Classic Lady is well positioned to perform well in this race.

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Champagnesocialist (IRE): Champagnesocialist has consistently placed in all five of her outings over hurdles at distances up to 23.6f. With the addition of cheekpieces and a good opening in this race, Champagnesocialist is a strong contender.
2. Imperial Data (IRE): Imperial Data won an Irish point-to-point race and had a promising second-place finish over C&D in a previous hurdle race. With that experience, Imperial Data is expected to be a big player in this race.
3. Monty Nevett (IRE): Monty Nevett showed promise in a novice hurdle at Newcastle last month, finishing third. With that experience and a go at this longer trip, Monty Nevett could be a contender.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

• Kopa Kilana (IRE): Although Kopa Kilana has not surpassed modest form over hurdles, the comment suggests that there might be more to shout about. With the switch to handicap company and a recent run, Kopa Kilana shouldn’t be disregarded.

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Imperial Data (IRE) stands out as the horse with an exceptional chance based on the positive comments. With a previous win in an Irish point-to-point and a promising second-place finish in a hurdle race, Imperial Data is expected to perform well in this race.

4. Deluxe Range (IRE) – 284.7
5. Cousu Main (FR) – 281.8
6. Faron (IRE) – 220.9

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Lord Caprio (IRE): Lord Caprio has been a consistent performer and recently gained a deserved C&D success. With a good second-place finish on the flat in a 2m handicap, Lord Caprio is likely to be in contention once again.
2. Wor Verge: Although Wor Verge is a course winner, the horse broke a blood vessel in the previous handicap hurdle at Musselburgh. Wor Verge will need to prove itself after that setback.
3. Fennas Loss (IRE): Fennas Loss has failed to build on previous promise and finished eighth in a handicap hurdle at Ayr. However, the horse is handily weighted and could potentially improve after a break.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

• Deluxe Range (IRE): Despite a below-form seventh-place finish in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle, Deluxe Range has a previous winning record and could be a factor if some of the other contenders falter.

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Lord Caprio (IRE) stands out as the horse with an exceptional chance based on the positive comments. With a recent C&D success and a strong second-place finish in a flat handicap, Lord Caprio is expected to perform well in this race.

1. Guinness Affair (FR) – 417.9
2. Kicksaftersix (IRE) – 373.4
3. Royle Steel (FR) – 221.4

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Guinness Affair (FR): Guinness Affair is a three-time winner over hurdles and made a chasing debut at Wincanton recently after a 20-month break. The horse probably needed that run, and with the experience under its belt, Guinness Affair is expected to improve in this race.
2. Kicksaftersix (IRE): Kicksaftersix has shown fair form in bumpers and has been performing well since switching to chasing, with a comfortable win in a C&D handicap just eight days ago. If the race doesn’t come too soon, Kicksaftersix has a good chance of success.
3. Royle Steel (FR): Royle Steel has won over hurdles but didn’t show much encouragement in the first try over fences at Market Rasen. The horse may have learned from that experience and could potentially show improvement in this race.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Kicksaftersix (IRE) stands out as the horse with an exceptional chance based on the positive comments. With fair form in bumpers and an impressive recent win in a C&D handicap, Kicksaftersix is expected to be a strong contender in this race.

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Croagh Patrick (IRE): Croagh Patrick is a C&D winner who quickly bounced back to form with a third-place finish in a handicap at this course just eight days ago. With the cheekpieces left off and dropping down to the last winning mark, Croagh Patrick has a good chance to take advantage of the favorable conditions.
2. Grange Ranger (IRE): Grange Ranger, a veteran, surprised with a win at Wetherby in November and hinted at a revival with a fifth-place finish at this course in May. Although not a threat in the latest race, the application of a visor might bring improvement. More is needed, but Grange Ranger cannot be completely dismissed.
3. Follow Your Arrow (FR): Follow Your Arrow has a successful record at this venue, including a win at this C&D last summer. The horse has shown improvement with a recent runner-up finish back at this course and a good third at Cartmel. Follow Your Arrow is deserving of respect in this race.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

Cilluirid (IRE) is mentioned as bouncing back to form with a runner-up finish at Market Rasen, and the horse could be dangerous off its current mark. However, it should be noted that it pulled up on the first two starts back from a long absence.

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Croagh Patrick (IRE) stands out as the horse with an exceptional chance based on the positive comments. With a recent strong performance at this course, settling better, and dropping down to a winning mark, Croagh Patrick is likely to be a strong contender in this race.
