Logorrheic improved for the step up to 1m2f when scoring at Wolverhampton last time but this is a much tougher handicap. The remainder all attempt a longer trip for the first time and MY REWARD may prove best of them. She lost her unbeaten record when third in Listed company over a mile at Pontefract in October but finished well ahead of Sharp Sailor and gets a tentative vote. Dark Wave is 10lb higher than his latest win and Dance Of Fire is 5lb higher than when landing a handicap here in September. Storm Rock should appreciate the longer distance and is just preferred to the other maiden winners Velociter and Darrington.
