Analyis of the race

DIVINITUS, returning from a three-month break, made virtually all and saw off his rivals in good style to record the second win of his career. Michael Grassick jnr, representing his father, said: "Our horses were sick for much of the season but this fellow was okay and was just on a break. We'll see what the handicapper does with him before making plans."

Sinsational looked to be up against it at the weights but this dual winner bounced back from a poor run at Fairyhouse last month and came from behind to deliver his challenge from 1f out. He kept on but never really threatened to get to the winner.

Soaring Emotions, winner of a 1m maiden on good ground at Leopardstown last month, raced in second place and was still in contention over 1f out before weakening out of contention in a matter of strides. She was eased late on.
