SKYWARDS REWARD went close over a longer trip at Ayr last time and had won over 2m at Wetherby before that. Today’s conditional can claim 10lb so Micky Hammond’s charge should make another bold bid. Young Tom posted a better effort at Catterick last time and may figure but Hit And Run ran below par at Bangor and remains 8lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. Astaroland slips further down the weights in the hope of ending a long losing run and Fort Jefferson was still beaten a long way when placed at Market Rasen.
