Hodd's Girl¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Caffrey⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 95| CD

11/4

6-time course winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (6f, 4/1) 12 days ago. Stable having good spell. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 2124-21

(2)

J J Jumbo^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D N Curran⁽⁷⁾| T: D Bunyan & G O'Leary| OR: 85| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (1m, 22/1) 12 days ago. Blinkers back on but his mark looks something of a stumbling block at present.

Form: 20650-5

(7)

Tosen Wish^t1⁴⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Hugh Horgan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 82

9/4

Twice-raced winner. 10/3, won 13-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft) in October 2021. Absent and since but made a very interesting yard switch and likely there's more to come now handicapping. Well worth a second look. Tongue tie fitted.

Hightimeyouwon^v¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 79| CD

10/3

Back to winning ways over C&D in January. 13/2, bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (1m) 12 days ago, keeping on without troubling the principals. Return to 7f a likely plus and he's one to consider.

Form: 0043-14

Inflection Point¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 74| CD

40/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, bit below form sixth of 12 in claimer at this C&D 56 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Othersmake greater appeal for win purposes.

Forecasts

Tosen Wish (9/4), Hodd's Girl (11/4), Hightimeyouwon (10/3), Inflection Point (13/2), J J Jumbo (7/1), Instrumental (16/1), Majestic Colt (40/1), Bucky Larson (50/1)

HODD'S GIRL has done nothing but improve for her present yard, adding another course success to her tally in comprehensive fashion 12 days ago. Versatile as regards trip, she can continue the good work back at 7f. Tosen Wish is very interesting on the back of an absence starting out for Joseph O'Brien, whilst the selection's stablemate, Hightimeyouwon is also firmly in the mix.
