Judge Storms home to land novice handicap

Stormy Judge stormed home on the run-in, under a power-packed ride from Danny Mullins, to land the Tipper Road Novice Handicap Chase at Naas.

Pat Fahy 's charge looked to have plenty to do as he was driven in fourth away from the second last fence.

The grey stuck to his task well to peg back Fully Charged on the run-in and record a length win in the two-and-a-half mile contest.

Stormy Judge was sent off an 11/2 shot having chased home Dinny Lacey on novice company at Limerick over Christmas.

Fahy said:- Fahy, “He stayed on really well today and three miles will be his trip. He can handle soft.

“His brother Mister Fogpatches wouldn’t be able to handle that ground as well. He’s entered in the Leopardstown Handicap Chase next weekend but I don’t know if he's high enough to get in. He would get better ground there.

“Their dam Jenniferjo was a very good mare.”
