THE TIMEFORM VIEW Time has already shown SEA LANTERN faced a really stiff task conceding chunks of weight to a pair of upwardly-mobile 3-y-os in a 1 1/4m novice here back in the spring. That was his best effort yet and with the return to further a plus on handicap debut, Brian Ellison’s charge looks to have plenty going for him returning from a break.
