      Verdict

      This should be a penalty kick for Double Honour despite having to give weight away all round. A dual winner over timber (once here), he was outclassed in the Royal & Sun Alliance Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. A return to this lowly level can see him regain the winning thread. Aquarius looks the one most likely to follow him home. A winner on firm ground last year, he will be at home in conditions, but this former useful John Dunlop inmate has yet to convince over hurdles and shouldn't trouble the selection on these terms.
