My Reward followed a narrow victory in a moderate Ffos Las maiden with a hard-fought success over today's rival Sharp Sailor at Kempton and will find this much tougher. The runner-up only just failed to get up and should be better suited to the conditions. POWER PLAY scored on soft ground at Newbury then completed a double on fast going at Ayr. Both were in nurseries but he's tough and in these conditions the step up in grade doesn't look beyond him. Prince Gagarin was staying on in a Newmarket nursery and won't go down without a fight as he was attempting to concede 21lb to the winner.
