Verdict
Omotesando escaped a penalty for winning over track and trip earlier and took advantage to follow up at Lingfield. But he's 9lb higher today while Marital failed to cope with a 4lb rise last time having won here before that. Yours Truly may do better now handicapping and dropping back down in trip but ROYAL BLESSING gets another chance racing off the same mark as when a close-up fourth at Chelmsford last time as a 7lb rise may prove beyond Pipers Piping. Gabrial The Thug could go well with an apprentice's allowance helping his cause.
