Captain can take charge

GLENFINN Captain is fancied to cause a mild surprise by beating Snowy Morning in the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel this afternoon.

In theory, Snowy Morning should be the proverbial good thing. For instance, at the weights, he has 15lbs in hand of the selection and has plenty in reserve over the rest of the field as well.

Willie Mullins’ charge is a high-class eight-year-old, as evidenced by some cracking efforts last season. He rounded off the campaign by finishing second behind Neptune Collonges at Punchestown and was third in both the Aintree Grand National and the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown.
