Witness Of Fashion is 5lb out of the handicap but continues to perform with credit and it will be a surprise if he isn't involved in the finish again. Kilford ran very well at Down Royal last time but is 8lb higher than his last winning mark so this can go to FEVER PITCH (NAP). Arthur Moore's charge has generally competed at a much higher level and his close second to Fine Rightly over 2m4f on this track in December would be good enough for this. Embracing Change went up 13lb for his victory in a Punchestown marathon a year ago and has been struggling while Pride Of The Artic hasn't won since completing a four-timer in 2012.
