A facile winner on his handicap debut over C&D in October, UNEXPECTED PARTY progressed again when runner-up in a stronger race at Cheltenham last month and he can take another 4 lb rise in his stride with the prospect of better still to come. A host in opposition have something to prove, so Into Overdrive and The Brimming Water may be the pair to give him most to think about.
