Warwick Race 7 - Carr & Day & Martin Open Hunters' Chase

The classy UNEXPECTED PARTY (1) could prove way too good having adapted well to this sphere with victories at Taunton and Haydock. An 11L fourth-place finish in the Foxhunter at Aintree was a respectable effort and sets a high form standard. FAN DE BLUES (4) rates next best. He was beaten 20L in the same Aintree contest and will need to turn the tables on the main selection having been beaten 4.5L at Taunton in January. EMPIRE DE MAULDE (3) won a 4800m point six days ago. Interesting contender. ARTHUR'S SIXPENCE (2) was in with a chance before falling twenty five days ago. Warrants a market check.

Useful gelding. Last start finished fourth of 24 runners at Aintree on April 9 over 4200m, 11 len behind Barton Snow carrying 76kg at $6. The run to post a big 5 len win. Haydock Park on February 14 over 4400m defeating Take All carrying 76.5kg at $4 in a steeplechase. Rates strongly on latest and expected to feature in the finish again.
