Indian Red beat Miss Dusky Diva when winning over track and trip last time but the latter should finish closer on today’s better terms. Temasek Star has won over 1m6f here in the past and scored at Leopardstown last summer. He has a chance along with Gabrial The Terror though Fitzwilly has lost his form recently. GREAT RETURN will presumably end up hurdling having joined Warren Greatrex at the end of last year but he’s been placed in all three starts on the all-weather for his new yard and may well prove good enough today.
