FormscanBy Gary Carson - A deep contest with Willie Mullins saddling three of the seven. The vote goes to CAPTAIN CODY on his chase debut. The Arctic Cosmos gelding won a Grade 2 in impressive fashion last season and any further rain will suit him. He looks to have the potential to make into a smart staying chaser. Stablemate Sa Majeste has the benefit of a run under his belt. He stayed on to chase home Search For Glory at Galway last time and is entitled to improve from that experience. Jockey bookings would suggest that Cleatus Poolaw is the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair and he has the potential to improve over fences.

Quotes on Billericay Dickie (IRE)
I was delighted with that. I didn't think he'd go on that ground, but Paul said he handled it well. For a maiden, I thought he jumped very well and he could go wherever he wants. We'll look at a novice hurdle somewhere and we'll see if Paul thinks he's good enough for a race across the water. I'd like to get another run into him before we go there, if we go there. That was two-and-a-half, he's by New Bay and his dam won on the Flat over a mile-and-a-quarter. I wouldn't be going three miles with him, but he could stick around that trip or two-six. I might get another novice in him and then decide if he's good enough to go.

Quotes on Captain Cody (IRE)
The owner texted me during the week and said that I could ride the horse if Paul wasn't going to. I can't thank him enough. Jody kept her horse out of trouble, kept him balanced and jumping, all the things you’d want in a young jockey. She’s always there, rides winners all the time for us and when you consider how light she is. She must have to carry a stone and a half of lead every day.

Quotes on Cleatus Poolaw (GB)
he’s a grand honest horse and probably a chaser in the making. Whatever he does this year will be a bonus. He stays well and I’d say it would be no problem for him to step right up to three miles.

Quotes on Shannon Royale (IRE)
I was disappointed with him the last day and put cheek pieces on to sharpen him up. He’d fitness on his side but Jack said he was a different horse altogether today and maybe he just needed the run the last day. His jumping was good but he has been disappointing. We’ll probably look for a three-mile handicap somewhere and see what happens.
