Frere d'Armes (G)
Won at this course last season but has lost his way since the spring, unseating rider ninth in 9-runner hunter chase at Ludlow (33/1) last month. A place is probably the best he can hope for.

Hollywood Harmon (M)
Multiple point winner who broke her duck under Rules in 9-runner maiden hunter chase at Cartmel (5/1) last May, responding well to positive ride to lead after last. Tough to know what to expect on return.
