Willing.

Subjunctive mood ( would) is probably not appropriate in this sentence, since you reasonably expect the second part to come in handy.

Which depends what’s it yo trying to express.

If a new thing will happen then the concept of ‘Would’ or ‘Will’ is better – or is it more accurate to say? If the ‘Would’ does allow for the possibility that it might not and then the rest of the statement is contingent upon it happening, so the value of ‘Would’ may not be affected.

If you absolutely already have the “second part”, and tonight is definitely happening, then use ‘will’.

If you are waiting for the “second part”, hope to be it available, then you would use “would”.

Based on some context in this example sentence, it looks like it’s probably best to use ‘will’.

Is our usage of “hopefully” redundant? “Good luck” already implies some doubt as to the outcome of the game. More importantly, the usage of “this”, rather than “the”, implies that “the second part” is already in hand, meaning that there’s no uncertainty regarding its availability.

Falling “hopefully”, you might have

The/this second part will come in handy tonight, no one knows how on earth does a song here or not?

Also this indicates you have the part, and sure will come in handy tonight.

How will the second part work tonight?

By this indicates that you don’t have the part yet, but if you do have it by tonight, it will indeed come in handy. No, you probably wouldn’t want to use “this” in a situation, rather than “the”, unless maybe you’re pointing at a drawing of the part or something like that.

With “hopefully” you might have

The/this second part will hopefully come in handy tonight.

If you have the part, and you’ll definitely use it, but it may or may not come in handy.

What are some useful examples of a second part that would hopefully come in handy in future?

Which animal sounds good to me? Does “hopefully” apply to? Is the speaker unsure if the part will come in handy even if available, or are they unsure if they’ll have the part or just say, “we have the spare parts”? Why do I keep addressing the parts of who have the voice, and even if I do, I’m unsure if I’ll have the part, but I hope it will come in handy (but I hope it does).If

we have the second part tonight, I hope it comes in handy.

How long do you wait for a solution?
