Come To The Party, the winner of a maiden hurdle at Limerick in March, has disappointed in his last two starts and he may be best watched on his British debut in a race taken to go to DEAD OR ALIVE, who is preferred to Mr Robert. Evan Williams has his team in good heart at present and Mr Robert confirmed that with a good success at Market Rasen last week. He has solid claims judged by that improved effort and makes more appeal than Iron Hague, who was beaten 10 lengths behind him at Market Rasen. James Lambe's Corporation showed ability in Irish points but was well held on his rules debut at Cartmel last month so he is hard to back with confidence and preference is for Dead Or Alive. Tim Vaughan's gelding was good value for his win at Worcester last time and he looks to have an obvious chance of following up that success.
