FormscanBy Michael Graham - Willie Mullins holds a very strong hand as he fields both Captain Cody and BLIZZARD OF OZ. To complicate matters, the pair faced off in Punchestown last month with the former finishing a place ahead of the latter in second. Blizzard Of Oz went off odds-on favourite and travelled well before failing to pick up in the closing stages. He should be wiser on his second racecourse start. He is 3lb better off with Captain Cody and was only three-quarters of a length behind him in Punchestown. Patrick Mullins stays loyal. One Big Bang graduates to the track after winning a point-to-point under Finny Maguire. He retains the ride and will give him a good steer.
