TOSEN Wish (9/4 favourite) overcame an absence since October 2021AV to rattle home in the Dundalk Winter Series Leading Trainer And Jockey Championship Handicap. Furthermore, he had switched from Takashi Kodama to Joseph O’Brien and was up in trip to seven furlongs, with a tongue-strap fitted.

From fifth over a furlong out, he found plenty to lead inside the final furlong and stuck to his task well, as he hit the line three quarters of a length to the good. Jockey Hugh Horgan, in Takaya Shimakawa’s colours, said: “He was green and behind the bridle and a little bit lazy, but he came home very well, in fairness, and picked up well for me. Another furlong no harm at all, he hit the line very strong.”
