Progressed well in handicap hurdles last season, winning at Wetherby and Ascot. Encouraging debut in this sphere when second at Exeter in November and not disgraced in Grade 1 at Sandown since. The one to beat with sights lowered.

Forecasts

Unexpected Party (8/13), Loughderg Rocco (5/1), Silver Sheen (15/2), Gentleman At Arms (8/1), Dans Le Vent (16/1), Charlie's Glance (18/1)

Verdict

Dan Skelton has won 2 of the last 3 runnings of this and can take it again courtesy of UNEXPECTED PARTY who will find this easier than the Sandown Grade 1 he contested last time and should be tough to beat. Dans Le Vent showed an aptitude for chasing a few years back and may fill the forecast spot ahead of Loughderg Rocco.
