Based on the provided Timewise ratings and comments, here is the analysis and assessment of the top contenders in totals order:

1. Modern Games (IRE):
   Modern Games has the highest total rating of 709.6 and comes off a Group 1 win in the Lockinge at Newbury. He has been a consistent performer at the top level and is expected to make another bold bid in this race.
2. Inspiral:
   Inspiral has a total rating of 622.6 and has shown her class with victories in the Coronation Stakes and Prix Jacques le Marois. Although she disappointed in her last outing, she is considered the one to beat if she returns to her best form.
3. Native Trail:
   Native Trail, the Irish Guineas winner, has a total rating of 622.1. He made a satisfactory return from wind surgery, finishing second to Mutasaabeq in a Newmarket Group 2. He needs to recapture his best form to be competitive in this race.

Additional Considerations:

Chindit (IRE) won a C&D listed race on his reappearance and finished a good second in the Lockinge. He has a solid chance of being in the mix again. Mutasaabeq has shown his ability with victories in Group 2 events and could be a factor if he can rebound from his fifth-place finish in the Lockinge. Berkshire Shadow, Cash (IRE), and Light Infantry (FR) have shown glimpses of form and could outrun their odds.

Modern Games and Inspiral stand out as the top contenders based on their total ratings and previous performances. Chindit and Mutasaabeq are also worth considering, given their recent form.

Fleurman has been enjoying a good season and enters calculations with an upward trajectory. Urban Artist, despite a lack of recent form, was a runner-up in Group 3/listed company last season and could potentially bounce back. Weston takes a significant step up in distance but is in good hands and shouldn’t be overlooked.

Analysis and Assessment of the Top Contenders:

1. Vauban (FR) – With a total rating of 560.9, Vauban is the highest-rated horse in the field. Although primarily known as a high-class hurdler, Vauban has shown useful form on the Flat, winning twice in 2021. His recent performance in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle suggests he is back to his best, making him a very interesting contender in this race.

3. Scriptwriter (IRE) – Despite being a 50/1 outsider, Scriptwriter has a total rating of 499.0, which indicates his potential to surprise. He showed a smart performance when winning a handicap at Wolverhampton in December and has the potential to offer more considering his low-mileage profile.

Additional Considerations:

• Sam Cooke (IRE) is a consistent horse who ended last season with wins at Newmarket and Newbury. Although his recent form hasn’t worked out well, he cannot be dismissed due to his past performances. He carries only 2 lb higher and may still have more to offer.
• Chillingham (IRE) has shown progress, winning three out of his last four starts. While this race represents a tougher challenge, he has the potential to continue improving and shouldn’t be overlooked.
• Absurde (FR), despite being relatively unknown in this sphere, has shown promise on the flat and made a successful debut over hurdles. With Frankie Dettori riding, he should be taken seriously based on his previous form in France.

Exceptional Chance:

Based on the comments, Vauban stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance. His previous successes on the Flat and his recent strong performances in high-class hurdling events suggest he has the ability to perform well in this race. His return to the Flat makes him a particularly interesting contender.
