Forecasts

Unexpected Party (4/9), Empire De Maulde (9/2), Arthur's Sixpence (6/1), Fan De Blues (13/2), Hystery Bere (11/1)

Barring accidents UNEXPECTED PARTY should prove too strong for these. He didn't jump/travel with his usual verve at Aintree last time but is now in much calmer waters. Fan de Blues is marginally preferred to Arthur's Sixpence for forecast purposes.
