Divine White can land the nightcap at the main expense of Princess Lavinia and Central Force. The selection was well beaten at Windsor last time but that was on unsuitably heavy ground and with the faster surface and longer trip in her favour she can finally get her head in front. Princess Lavinia did not see out the trip when running over 1m4f last time so the drop in distance should see her in a better light this evening and she should be thereabouts at the finish. Central Force ran no sort of race at Windsor last time but that was not her true running and she could be worth another chance. Golden Applause is a course and distance winner and she looks to have a solid each-way chance, but Divine White has plenty in her favour here and she looks the one to beat.
