DIVYA showed plenty of promise in her first season and there was a lot to like about her third over this trip at Newmarket so she gets the nod ahead of likely favourite Vaguely Royal, who has found one too good in a couple of runs over 1m2f this year. Open Choice is improving with experience but is making his debut on Turf. Tajanis finished last on soft ground at Nottingham in April and will need to improve on that to figure.
