Forecasts

Notice To Close (4/1), Stormy Judge (11/2), Punitive (11/2), Lean Araig (6/1), Fag An Bealach (8/1), Ilikedwayurthinkin (9/1), Donkey Years (9/1), Fully Charged (12/1), Ificudiwud (16/1), Moscowsowhat (20/1), The Dabbler (25/1), Triplicate (33/1), Great Khan (40/1), Carrigready (100/1)

Verdict

NOTICE TO CLOSE is thriving at the moment and so has to be respected as he bids for the 4-timer. Punitive left his chase debut well behind when fourth at Naas and is on a good mark if that form is taken literally. Stormy Judge and Moscowsowhat make up the shortlist.
