The really interesting one is FRIEND OR FOE, who missed the whole of last season but his novice campaign was promising and this unexposed 5-y-o resumes on a potentially handy mark. Le Ligerien looked progressive prior to misfiring at the Cheltenham Festival and he will be a threat if ready to roll. Didtheyleaveuoutto isn't one to give up on just yet and Remiluc also enters calculations.
