Verdict

Four of these won last time and Omotesando was beaten less than a length at Bath so it's quite competitive considering the prize money. POOR DUKE (NAP) was undoubtedly flattered by his margin of victory at Leicester and has been raised 11lb for his troubles. But he's still only 4lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in October and could go in again. Marital was beaten by Llyrical here two runs ago and is now a pound worse off while Admirable Art steps up a furlong off a 4lb higher mark. Honiton Lace is closely matched with Omotesando here in June and Star Links is starting to look a light of former days.
