Verdict

NOTICE TO CLOSE has been superbly placed to complete a hat-trick, twice over fences before taking advantage of a much lower hurdles mark at Limerick. He's up 9lb and Stormy Judge, around 7 lengths behind him at Cork in November, is entitled to get much closer on the revised terms. Moscowsowhat has been in fine form since turning to fences and this is his trip and ground while Fag An Bealach scored over the course and distance in November and ran over hurdles next time. The veteran Lean Araig will love the conditions and is capable of a big run from this mark as is Great Khan though he was a long way behind the selection at Clonmel.
