Verdict

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand and his very good prospect CAPTAIN CODY is confidently expected to resume winning ways on the back of an excellent recent Naas second. Stablemate Blizzard of Oz fluffed his lines when fifth at Naas last time but remains capable of better and is next on the list ahead of Backtonormal and The Other Mozzie.

  1. CAPTAIN CODY (IRE)
  2. BLIZZARD OF OZ (IRE)
  3. BACKTONORMAL (IRE)
