Forecasts

Paper Lantern (10/3), Cappacurry Zak (7/2), Open To The World (7/2), Simple Steps (6/1), Milanesque (7/1), Bandon Bridge (7/1), Instant Smile (8/1), So Influential (9/1), Mannin Island (16/1)

Verdict

PAPER LANTERN is an interesting runner and he's shown more ability than plenty in here; provided he builds on his most recent effort, he could be hard to beat here. So Influential will have learnt plenty from his chase debut last time while Cappacurry Zak is a consistent sort in these conditions and can give his running again.
