THOMAS BLOSSOM (NAP) was beaten less than a length at Lingfield when stepped up to today's trip and is only 2lb higher than his earlier win at Brighton. He gets the nod ahead of Born To Reign, placed over track and trip last month and likely to be thereabouts once again. Robin Hood continues to tumble down the weights without getting any nearer and Kingswinford is back on a winning mark if staying the longer trip.
