In such a wide-open contest finding a horse with reason for improvement is often the best course of action and NOTICE TO CLOSE who got off the mark at Clonmel looks a likely sort to do so now upped fully 1m in trip given he won three point-to-points over the trip. Narrowing down this field to any sort of a shortlist is hard but others with likable claims include Se Mo Laoch who is rated 21lb higher over fences and Big Tree who was third upped to 3m latest after often shaping like a stayer over shorter trips.
