Hurricane Darwin scored over hurdles and fences last summer and may have been finding the ground too soft this year. Admiral Brian won twice on heavy going last year but has performed well in his last two starts on much quicker going. Miss Eyecatcher completed a hat-trick of bumper victories at this time a year ago and scored over timber at Wexford last month while Holeinthewall Bar was in good form over fences earlier in the year and reverts to hurdles on a lower mark. HARETH had twice been well supported after transferring from Charlie Swan before justifying favouritism at Limerick last month. He should still have some improvement in him and can overcome a 7lb rise to complete a double. Just Call Me was a long way behind the selection at Limerick but he's very much better on quicker ground as he showed when beating a big field over the course and distance next time.
