Claritudo's only success came in a course and distance maiden in May and he has more to do here. Divine Comedy's lone victory came over 1m2f at Newcastle but she wasn't stopping over 1m4f at Brighton last time. VE DAY has been looking in need of this sort of trip in all starts this season and can finally get off the mark though Gold Charm should be winning soon from this mark. Ludus won over the trip on fast ground at Yarmouth before a poor run in softer conditions at Carlisle so wouldn't want more rain.
