11. One Man Party (FR) – 177.6
12. Atlantic Breeze (IRE) – 247.9

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Moonshine Spirit:
   Moonshine Spirit holds the highest rating according to the Timewise ratings. The comment states that Moonshine Spirit has been in the frame on all three bumper starts and performed well in three outings over hurdles. They finished second in a novice hurdle at Worcester and now make their handicap hurdle debut. Moonshine Spirit is considered a strong contender in this race.
2. Escobedo:
   Escobedo is ranked second in the ratings. The comment mentions that Escobedo has no signs of improvement in recent runs, but they were fourth in a handicap hurdle at Warwick after a three-month break. While others may be more persuasive, Escobedo cannot be entirely discounted.
3. Fantomas (FR):
   Fantomas is ranked third in the ratings. The comment states that Fantomas was fortunate to win over fences at Uttoxeter but hasn’t been threatening since then. They finished sixth at Southwell in their latest outing. Fantomas may have needed the run and could potentially improve, but they are not the strongest contender based on recent form.
4. Sassified (IRE):
   Sassified is ranked fourth in the ratings. The comment mentions that Sassified was fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland and showed some improvement when finishing third in a handicap at Newton Abbot recently. This performance makes Sassified a horse to consider and potentially shortlist for this race.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

Heronord (FR):
Heronord is still looking for the first win but showed promise when finishing second in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in their latest run. With the benefit of the reappearance run, Heronord is expected to give another good account and should be considered as a contender.

Emanate:
Although Emanate has been poor on the Flat and has not troubled the judge in three starts over timber, they showed some improvement when finishing fifth in a novice hurdle at Worcester. Emanate’s performance suggests potential progress, and their handicap hurdle debut is worth monitoring.

In summary, the top contenders based on the Timewise ratings are Moonshine Spirit, Escobedo, Fantomas (FR), Sassified (IRE), and Heronord (FR). Moonshine Spirit holds the highest rating and has consistently been in the frame in previous outings. Escobedo and Fantomas have had mixed recent form but cannot be entirely discounted. Sassified has shown improvement and should be shortlisted, while Heronord has the potential to give a good account based on their last performance.

6. Jersey Wonder (IRE) – 345.4
7. Bbold (IRE) – 342.4
8. Name In Lights (IRE) – 295.1

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Nickelsonthedime (IRE):
   Nickelsonthedime holds the highest rating according to the Timewise ratings. The comment states that Nickelsonthedime resumed winning ways in a handicap hurdle at Warwick, always holding on to win by a neck. Despite a 3 lb rise in the weights, Nickelsonthedime merits serious consideration as a strong contender in this race.
2. Presenting Yeats (IRE):
   Presenting Yeats is ranked second in the ratings. The comment mentions that Presenting Yeats virtually refused to race in their last outing at Stratford. However, they are a previous course and distance winner and will be wearing a hood for the first time. While others may appeal more, Presenting Yeats cannot be dismissed entirely.
3. Moon King (FR):
   Moon King is ranked third in the ratings. The comment states that Moon King doubled their tally over hurdles and returned from a 5-month break with a creditable third-place finish at Fontwell. This performance puts Moon King in the mix and makes them a horse to consider for this race.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

Premier D’troice (FR):
Premier D’troice has been in good form until their last outing, where they finished last in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell. However, they had a strong run of form prior to that, and with a better performance, Premier D’troice could be in contention. Their previous winning record adds to their chances.

Czech Her Out (IRE):
Czech Her Out resumed from a break with a win at Southwell and then finished sixth at Worcester. The comment mentions that they had breathing surgery, which could contribute to an improved performance. With the previous win and the potential for improvement, Czech Her Out cannot be ruled out.

In summary, the top contenders based on the Timewise ratings are Nickelsonthedime (IRE), Presenting Yeats (IRE), Moon King (FR), Premier D’troice (FR), and Czech Her Out (IRE). Nickelsonthedime holds the highest rating and comes off a recent win, making them a strong contender. Presenting Yeats has a previous course and distance win but had a disappointing last outing. Moon King has shown promise with a recent creditable third-place finish. Premier D’troice has been in good form until their last run and has previous winning experience. Czech Her Out resumed with a win and had a fair performance in their last outing, with the potential for improvement.

Based on the Timewise ratings provided, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Songo (IRE) – 420.1
2. Bala Brook – 312.5
3. Supreme Johnson (FR) – 186.9
4. Etoile Brillante (IRE) – 180.5
5. Ideal Vert (FR) – 163.5
6. Farnon (IRE) – 139.0
7. Frankie Faulkner (IRE) – 105.9
8. Musical Mistress – 19.8

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Songo (IRE):
   Songo holds the highest rating according to the Timewise ratings. The comment states that Songo has failed to trouble the judge in three completed starts over hurdles, but he is a fairly useful handicapper on the Flat and performed well in a recent race at Goodwood. With a strong Flat form and a notable jockey booking, Songo is of strong interest back over hurdles.
2. Bala Brook:
   Bala Brook is ranked second in the ratings. The comment mentions that Bala Brook failed to build on the promise of their bumper debut and finished behind a long odds-on shot in a C&D maiden. However, considering this is not a strong race, Bala Brook could still play a part and should not be overlooked.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

Supreme Johnson (FR):
Supreme Johnson has won twice in point-to-point races but needs to show improvement to make a successful hurdles debut. While their overall record may not be compelling, a step up in performance could put them in contention.

Etoile Brillante (IRE):
Etoile Brillante has shown no sign of ability in three bumpers and finished well adrift in their hurdles debut. Their performance was far behind the runner-up Bala Brook, so it’s difficult to warm to their chances in this race.

In summary, the top contenders based on the Timewise ratings are Songo (IRE) and Bala Brook. Songo holds the highest rating and has performed well on the Flat, making them a strong contender in this race. Bala Brook may not have capitalized on their initial promise but could still play a part in this relatively weak field. Supreme Johnson and Etoile Brillante will need to show significant improvement to be competitive.

Based on the Timewise ratings provided, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Junior Massini – 421.8
2. Loved Out (IRE) – 279.8
3. Seymour Promise (IRE) – 241.9
4. Telart (FR) – 232.8

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Junior Massini:
   Junior Massini holds the highest rating according to the Timewise ratings. The comment mentions that Junior Massini has looked like a different proposition since switching to fences, winning two out of three starts in this sphere. They put in a good performance at Bangor, making all and jumping well. With a fair 4 lb rise in the weights, Junior Massini should be a strong contender in this race.
2. Loved Out (IRE):
   Loved Out has only managed one win from 19 starts over hurdles but has been placed on ten occasions, including at this course. The comment states that Loved Out is on a fair mark for their chase debut and should have a part to play if their jumping is up to scratch. With a consistent record over hurdles, Loved Out could be a contender in this race.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

Seymour Promise (IRE):
Seymour Promise has been a runner-up in their first three starts in handicap hurdles since returning from a 15-month absence. However, their form has dipped in their last two races, including in this sphere. The connections have now decided to reach for blinkers, indicating a change in tactics. Whether this change will improve their performance remains to be seen.

Telart (FR):
Telart is a fair winner over hurdles and has posted respectable efforts in hunter chases in the past. However, their recent form has been inconsistent, and the comment suggests that it may be best to look elsewhere for the likely winner.

In summary, the top contenders based on the Timewise ratings are Junior Massini and Loved Out (IRE). Junior Massini has shown a significant improvement since switching to fences and has a good chance of winning this race. Loved Out, although not highly rated, has a consistent record over hurdles and could still play a part if their jumping is solid. Seymour Promise and Telart have shown promise in the past but have had recent dips in form, making them less favourable options in this race.
