HOLLY (5) ended last season with a mid-division result tackling a competitive 2m handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival (Ireland). This is easier making chase debut and progress likely. Serious player. FRERE D'ARMES (6) finished a good 7L third contesting a higher class 2m4f handicap chase at Worcester. The former course and distance winner may show best form revisiting. Worth including. BEAU BALKO (4) proved consistent last season including a smart third over 2m at Ayr in April. Thereabouts. GUY (2) has won twice among similar chase company this year. Not to be discounted.
