We have two runners with good chances in the novice hurdle over 2m 3f. Paul has chosen to ride Captain Cody who easily won his maiden over 2m 4f at Gowran a couple of weeks ago. Blizzard Of Oz may now be ridden by Danny. He jumped well when winning over this trip at Punchestown in December. There may not be much between the two.
We also have two in the Opera Hat Listed Mares Chase over 2 miles. Allegorie De Vassy (Paul) has to reverse Fairyhouse placings with Riviere D’etel and we think she has a good chance of doing so. Instit may now be ridden by Danny. The race conditions don’t really suit her and she would prefer a longer trip.
We have two chances in the 3 mile hunters chase. Billaway (Patrick) is a multiple winner of this race and should go very close again. He was declared to run a few weeks ago but had to be withdrawn so he is fit enough to do himself justice. Annamix (Luke Turner) will find this tough on his first run of the season.
