Verdict

Lucky Diva is 9lb higher than when winning at Ffos Las in June and faded badly at Bath last time when GRAYLYN RUBY finished third. The latter is just preferred to Dr Finley, beaten a length over track and trip last month. Oakbank went close to opening his account at Lingfield on his penultimate start and Newton Cross is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his form form earlier in the year that saw him win twice over course and distance.
