The classy UNEXPECTED PARTY (1) should be way too good. He has adapted well to this sphere with victories at Taunton and Haydock. An 11L fourth-place finish in the Foxhunter at Aintree was a respectable effort. He sets a high form standard. FAN DE BLUES (4) is next best. He was beaten 20L in the same Aintree contest. He will need to turn the tables on Unexpected Party having been beaten 4. 5L at Taunton in January. EMPIRE DE MAULDE (3) won a 3m point six days ago and is an interesting contender. ARTHUR'S SIXPENCE (2) was in with a chance before falling 25 days ago. He is worth a market check.
