Based on the provided Timewise ratings and comments, here is the analysis and assessment of the top contenders in totals order:
- Genever Dragon (IRE):
Genever Dragon holds the highest total rating of 338.4 and has shown good form in handicap hurdles, including a fine second-place finish in a 14-runner race at Sedgefield. With a solid track record, he is likely to feature prominently in this race. - Sufi:
Sufi has a total rating of 332.1 and has previously regained the winning thread in a selling handicap hurdle. However, his recent form has been lackluster, and with a seven-month absence from racing, he may be best watched on this occasion. - Rafiki (FR):
Rafiki has displayed fair ability on the flat and secured a victory in a novice hurdle last year. Although he has been below par in handicaps recently, making his debut for a new yard and with a reduced mark, he could potentially show improvement and should not be ruled out entirely. - Boundsy Boy:
Boundsy Boy has been consistently creditable in his handicap hurdle efforts, including a narrow defeat by an unexposed mare at Worcester. With a total rating of 288.9, he should be considered as a contender in this race.
Additional Considerations:
Seaforth Mancy (IRE) and Ten Past Midnight have both shown previous winning form, but their recent performances have been disappointing, and they may need to rediscover their best form to be competitive in this race.
Genever Dragon stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance based on his previous performances in handicap hurdles. With his fine second-place finish in a competitive field, he has proven ability in this sphere and should be a top contender.

Borderline (IRE) has a lower total rating but has shown potential in previous bumper races and could make his presence felt now hurdling. Alpha King and Shabano (GER) have limited experience over hurdles and would need to show significant improvement to be competitive.

With encouraging signs shown in his comeback race and a dangerous mark, he should not be overlooked.

Do It For Thy Sen has the highest total rating of 445.7 and is in top form, coming off a career-best win at Uttoxeter just three days ago. Although carrying a penalty, he is capable of landing a hat-trick if the race doesn’t come too soon for him. - Steel Wave (IRE):
