RACING POST VERDICT

Black Orchid, bred to be smart, is of obvious interest but ZEN DIVA has the benefit of experience and can make a winning return.

Racing Post Pick
Zen Diva
Our Expert Tip

Ralph Beckett sends ZEN DIVA to Ripon tomorrow and although it’s her first run in 227 days, I think experience could prove vital here.

Unless the main danger BLACK ORCHID is fully tuned up and ready to go first time out, I think ZEN DIVA’s racecourse experience will tell. It does look a two horse race on paper and the even money currently on offer looks very fair.
