Verdict

CAPTAIN CODY looked a most exciting recruit when going in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Gowran so is hard to oppose. Stablemate Blizzard of Oz appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Answer To Kayf and Backtonormal.

  1. CAPTAIN CODY (IRE)
  2. BLIZZARD OF OZ (IRE)
  3. ANSWER TO KAYF
