BLIZZARD OF OZ joined Willie Mullins after splitting a pair of the champion trainer's runners in a Listed contest here in March. He started odds-on at Punchestown last month but the race developed into a sprint and he was outpaced. Compensation awaits though stablemate Captain Cody finished just ahead after leading in the straight and there shouldn't be much between them again. One Big Bang won a point at Moig South in November while That's About Right is a half-brother to four winners.
