Verdict
Miss Dusky Diva has struggled since landing last year’s renewal though can race off the same mark today. Volturnus was tailed off when favourite here last time having won at Kempton earlier but INDIAN RED (NAP) is getting closer as he slips further down the weights. He finished ahead of Pantomime when third at Newcastle last week and should make another bold bid. Picture Painter won over hurdles in October and is not badly treated back on the Flat while New Abbey Angel has every chance if lasting home having placed over 1m4f here last time.
