    First-class party has no sign of revellers in front

    My take (though I do not appreciate it myself !)

    First class=fairest
    no sign of=deletion indicator
    revellers in front = r
    No anagrind.
    def=party=fiesta

    Many times I am the first to qualify (not yesterday, I was the 4th), but Lloyd's hat seems to have a strange fascination for retaining the slip with my name.

    Fi(-v)e Sta(-r)
    First-Class - Five Star!
    no - deletion indicator
