Forecasts

Ve Day (10/3), Claritudo (7/2), Gold Charm (4/1), Divine Comedy (6/1), Satanic Moon (7/1), Gordons Aura (11/1), Eye Knee (14/1), Smart Lass (14/1), Turner Girl (14/1), Winklevi (22/1), Ludus (22/1), Ain't No Sunshine (50/1)

DIVINE COMEDY left the impression she's weighted to win a race of this nature when runner-up at Brighton last month and gets the nod. VE Day and Gold Charm should also go well.
