The veteran Witness Of Fashion showed he wasn't done with yet when scoring at Fairyhouse and can't be dismissed from just 5lb higher. Frankly All Talk fell 2 out when there with every chance here last time and connections will be hoping for compensation with his young rider's claim a bonus. CASTAFIORE PARK gained his first victory over fences at Down Royal where he was always going well. He's been hit with a 9lb rise but looks progressive and can go in again. Roxboro Road has plenty of ability and may have taken a hand in the finish but for slipping up here last time while Arctic Light is surely better than he showed at Navan where the heavy ground didn't suit.
