WOODROW was outpointed by Hodd's Girl over C&D last month, but his subsequent maiden victory over 5f here was pretty impressive and, on that evidence, he is a step ahead of the handicapper with just a 6 lb penalty to shoulder. Conversely, Hodd's Girl looks weighed to the hilt off this 11 lb higher mark and Woodrow may have most to fear from last-time-out C&D winner Ahyoka and Blastofmagic.
