Race Tip

Dan Skelton holds a strong hand with five runners and UNEXPECTED PARTY (1) is the best of the bunch. Last seen when well beaten in the G1 Celebration Chase at Sandown Park during April. Finds a suitable assignment holding an unbeaten record tackling track and trip. SAINT SEGAL (2) is a two-time course winner including over this distance when last seen 174 days ago winning by 2. 5L. There is more to offer and could improve. Plenty of these will have bigger targets in the coming weeks including IL RIDOTO (3) and HARPER'S BROOK (5) who both warrant a second glance in the betting as to their chances.
