Formscan By Gary Carson - Paul Townend is back in action here aboard CAPTAIN CODY, having had a few days off, and can return on a winner. The Arctic Cosmos gelding, sixth in last season's Cheltenham bumper, made an impressive start over timber at Gowran on Thyestes Day and could be a smart staying prospect. Stablemate Blizzard Of Oz also commands respect. He's also by the former St Leger winner and won on his hurdling debut at Punchestown in mid-December. He had finished second to the selection in a Limerick bumper last year and may play second fiddle again. Answer To Kayf sets the standard here off a mark of 134 and also has to be on the shortlist. He comes into this off the back of a good run to finish third in a Grade 2 contest at Limerick over Christmas.
