Verdict
Hodd's Girl won here for the sixth time last month, always travelling nicely and storming clear in the closing stages of that 6f handicap. She's been raised 8lb and this is tougher as HIGHTIMEYOUWON (NAP) beat her just under a length over the trip a month ago and will be 7lb better off. The winner didn't run as well over a mile next time but this is his trip. Tosen Wish is very much a dark horse here having won a maiden at Navan in 2021 and joined Joseph O'Brien. Instrumental didn't stay the extended 1m2f here in November after scoring over a mile on his previous start while Inflection Point is just held by the selection on his penultimate run though it wouldn't be a shock to see him in the firing-line.
