Formscan  - It is hard to oppose UNEXPECTED PARTY now that he switches to this company. Dan Skelton's gelding won the Grand Annual in 2024 and only found one rival too good in the 2025 renewal. He was far from disgraced when giving 11lb to Steel Ally at Carlisle in November and that form puts him head and shoulders above these. A Jet Of Our Own and Stumps Or Slips complete the shortlist.
