Wigmore is much more forgiving, it’s a pretty steady gradient all the way up, easier to pace and knowledge of the hill isn’t nearly so important.
If you can recce it all the better, but a hard interval session or two at the start of the week and recovery / zone 2 Thursday > Saturday would be just as good prep.

I often just arrive early at the event and give the hill 2 rides up as a recce if I can't ride it in advance. 1 is nearly race pace to determine pacing and where to get out the saddle. The other is focussed on road surface and line choice.
YouTube videos or a mix of street view and veloviewer can be good virtual substitutes.

All wise words. Won’t be giving up on it yet.
Already thinking how I can fit a recce of Wigmore in this week and turbo turbo turbo.
