Party is the word here, with PARTY PRESIDENT and Party Dress expected to come to the fore. Both are open to improvement and marginal preference is for the former, who made a winning handicap debut under this rider at Naas earlier this month and a 7 lb rise is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. Old Kenmare took a small step forward on his handicap debut here three weeks ago and, if settling better this time, he may well build on that and emerge as a threat.
