Blizzard Of Oz

Jockey: J J Slevin Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 7/11-10 F: 4/333- OR: 141

4/1

Comment: Chased home Lecky Watson in a beginners' earlier in the campaign and respectable efforts in defeat twice since; very interesting on handicap debut and may appreciate return to quicker ground.

13/2

Comment: Fell on chase debut but 2-3 since including a Grade 2 novice at Thurles in January; interesting that she's the pick of Walsh but doesn't look particularly well treated so will need to improve.

Comment: Improving over fences this season and off the mark in a mares' novice handicap at Cheltenham 15 days ago; only 8lb higher for that facile 10l success and looks like a major player again.

Comment: 2-3 over fences and got the better of short priced High Class Hero in Grade 3 novice at Thurles in March; handicapper has had his say but may come on for that run and not ruled out; Walsh seemingly prefers Nara.
