2. Lough Carra (IRE): Showed improvement on his second start over fences, finishing second in a handicap chase. Wears a visor for the first time.
3. Barely Famous (IRE): Arrives in good form over hurdles, and now making her chase debut. Back in trip and needs to be considered.
4. Cotton End (IRE): Took a step in the right direction with a third-place finish in a handicap chase. Should be taken seriously off a lower mark.
5. Miss Antipova: Still a maiden but posted a creditable second-place finish in a handicap chase. Merits consideration.
6. Paddys Return (IRE): Pulled up on debut over fences. Tongue strap on for the first time.
7. Coconut Tudor (IRE): Remains a maiden and had a below-par fifth-place finish in a handicap chase. More is needed for the new handler.

2. Elios Dor (FR) – 452.5
3. Stepney Causeway – 310.4
4. Paros (FR) – 270.8

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Blueberry Wine (IRE): Coming off two consecutive victories, including a career-best win at Aintree. Carries a 6 lb higher weight but expected to make another bold bid for the hat-trick.
2. Elios Dor (FR): A 3-time C&D winner who also scored at Stratford recently. Ridden too aggressively in a recent race but known to bounce back quickly. Can’t be discounted with an easy lead predicted.
3. Stepney Causeway: A useful hurdles winner who has been a runner-up twice in recent small-field affairs. Wears a hood for this race.
4. Paros (FR): Showed fairly useful form with two wins in 2020/21 but has been pulled up in all four starts since returning from a lengthy absence. Makes his chase debut and has plenty to prove.

Based on this analysis, the runner with the highest potential is Blueberry Wine (IRE), who has been in excellent form with two consecutive victories and is expected to make another strong bid for the win.

2. Hardy Boy (FR): Dual hurdles winner who won his third attempt over fences but still needs improvement in his jumping. Capable of getting involved in the race.
3. Lord Bryan (IRE): Had a successful period with a hat-trick of wins over 3 miles. However, has struggled in recent starts and needs to regain his form. Others may be more persuasive.
4. Bolsover Bill (IRE): Had success over fences last season but had a disappointing run at Cartmel recently. A bounce-back performance is needed.
5. Talkingthetalk (IRE): Showed promise in a Wexford maiden hurdle but didn’t perform well for her current yard afterward. However, got off the mark in her second start over fences. Can be considered as a potential winner.
6. Jet Smart (IRE): Showed promise with a fifth-place finish in a maiden hurdle but hasn’t progressed as expected. Switching to chasing with a tongue strap and wind operation. Potential for improvement.

Based on this analysis, the runner with the highest potential is Hardy Boy (FR), who has shown success over hurdles and fences and has the ability to improve in his jumping. Talkingthetalk (IRE) also has potential after getting off the mark in her last start over fences.

3. Achtung Baby (FR): Placed in a point-to-point bumper and finished fourth in a bumper at Stratford. Expected to be competitive in this race.
4. Charia: Pulled up in a bumper over the same course and distance six weeks ago. Tongue tie applied, needs to improve on previous performance.

2. Gaius: Fairly useful Flat winner, progressing in hurdles with a second-place finish at Aintree and Market Rasen. Has a good chance to go one better in this race.
3. Humanitarian (USA): Talented Flat performer, showed aptitude for hurdling in Irish maidens with two placings. Considered a strong contender at this level in Britain.
4. Painless Potter (IRE): Won on the Flat, and although not yet matching that level over hurdles, finished second over the same course and distance recently. Needs to step up to win.
5. Perryville (IRE): Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles, but no significant progress in handicaps. Unsuitable race development at Huntingdon last month.
6. Elusive Enemy (IRE): Poor form in bumpers, but improved with a tongue tie on hurdling debut to finish second over the course and distance. Looking to build on that performance.
7. Illico Du Breuil (FR): Maiden Irish pointer, had a lackluster hurdles debut.
8. My Friend Dixie: Showed no promise in a Stratford bumper in October.
9. Malago Rose (IRE): Showed promise in bumpers but looked inexperienced on hurdling debut.

11. Sunset In Paris (IRE): Poor maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut.

Based on this analysis, the runner with the highest potential is The Galahad Kid (IRE), who remains unbeaten in two bumpers and made a good hurdling debut.

1. Clear The Runway (IRE): Highly progressive hurdler/chaser, but pulled up in a recent handicap chase. Up in trip with cheekpieces back on.
2. Accidental Rebel: Won four out of five starts, including a Grade 2 race. Found life tough under penalty but could fare better in this race.
3. Solo Saxophone (IRE): Developed into a useful stayer on the Flat and has had success back hurdling. Recent comeback run on the Flat should sharpen him up.
4. Finisk River: Has a good record since being fitted with cheekpieces and a tongue tie. Returns after a seven-month break for last year’s winning yard.
5. Eritage (FR): Ended time with Paul Nicholls with a chase win but struggled in subsequent starts. Watchable on this first outing for a new yard.
6. Everyonesgame (IRE): Fairly useful bumper winner, transitioning into handicaps with a less-exposed profile.
7. Luttrell Lad (IRE): Showed promise in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but hasn’t confirmed that form in recent outings. Well handicapped but confidence is not high.
8. Merry Berry: Completed a 4-timer last season but not seen since a second-place finish a year ago. Interesting to see her form on reappearance.
9. Celestial Horizon (IRE): Dual hurdle winner in Ireland but hasn’t performed well in recent starts for the current yard. Consider only if backed.
10. Jamacho: Won handicap hurdles and a handicap chase but had no impact in a competitive race on reappearance. Could improve after the outing and the step up in trip.
11. Galata Bridge: Impressive winner and returned in good form, winning a handicap hurdle last month. Respected with a 3 lb increase.

Based on this analysis, the runner with the highest potential is Accidental Rebel, who has shown success in previous races and could fare better in this calmer race. Finisk River has a good record and returns after a break, making him a strong contender. Everyonesgame is less exposed and transitioning into handicaps, while Solo Saxophone has shown promise in both Flat and hurdling races. Clear The Runway is a progressive hurdler/chaser but needs to bounce back from a recent poor performance. The remaining runners have varying levels of form and potential, making it difficult to assess their chances accurately.

2. Sermando (FR): First run since leaving Jonjo O’Neill and won a handicap hurdle at Fakenham. Remains well treated and one to consider.
3. Rock The House (IRE): In good form, completing a double at Ffos Las. Showed a good attitude and is likely to perform well in the hat-trick bid.
4. Black Buble (FR): Fair handicap hurdler returning from a long absence. Might strip fitter and the distance is more suitable.
5. Sufi: Back to form with a handicap hurdle win at Stratford. Quick turnaround might not be ideal after an absence.
6. Lighthouse Mill (IRE): Career-best performance when winning a handicap hurdle at Stratford. Consistent recently and expected to perform well again.
7. Only Fools (IRE): Fair Flat winner in France, showing better signs over hurdles in handicaps. Up in trip and can’t be ruled out despite carrying extra weight.
