PAPER LANTERN (NAP) arrives here with a 4lb penalty for last week's Fairyhouse victory over 2m5f but the longer trip here will hold no fears. He's been raised 7lb by the assessor so looks well treated, especially under his rider's claim, so will be difficult to beat. Gabrielleamee, four times a winner between the flags, has shown the occasional form over regulation fences as has Willow Grange, though the latter's strike-rate of 1-40 speaks volumes. Witness Of Fashion was in excellent form at this time a year ago and is very well handicapped at his best but showed nothing on his reappearance at Down Royal.
