Although FRERE D'ARMES was pulled up in the Grand Annual at last week's Cheltenham Festival he's the mount of Harry Skelton from his yard's 2 runners here and might be able to stage a revival in this easier race and back on a sounder surface. Recent Newbury winner Martator is second choice ahead of Thelasthighking.
