Verdict

The betting at Lingfield suggested DIVINE RAPTURE had shown plenty at home on she duly landed the odds on her debut. The runner-up Endued re-opposes on better terms but there should be plenty more to come from James Tate’s filly. Gastronomy and Hoornblower are likely improvers while Shaw Park is preferred to his more exposed stablemate King Of York. Painters Palette debuts for a new yard and the newcomer Peace Man should be noted for a stable in flying form.
