He'llberemembered won this a year ago and returned to beat Daring Article narrowly over the same trip in January when Colbert Station was a long way behind. He's now on his highest ever mark and the runner-up should just about reverse the form on the revised terms. Double Seven was in brilliant form last summer, completing a five-timer in a Listed contest at Wexford in October. He wouldn't want any more rain and might just need the run after a break but should soon be winning again though HOME FARM looks the one to be on. Arthur Moore's charge landed a beginners chase at Fairyhouse a year ago and was having just his third subsequent start when a close fifth in the lucrative Paddy Power Handicap here in December.
