Formscan By 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.
