Perfect Reward is back in the right grade and Gary Moore has his string firing on all cylinders. He would go close if reproducing the form of his second to I'm In The Pink at Taunton in December but does have to give 3lb to Hypnotic Gaze and TRI NATIONS. Martin Keighley's charge was conceding 2lb to the latter when beating him by almost 12 lengths in a claimer at Doncaster 10 days ago but Milton Harris' six-year-old was having his first run since October that day and it is certain to strip fitter here. At home on a sharp track on good ground, he may well get his revenge here. Lucy Horner has ridden Ravati often enough to know his quirks and he is another with claims at the weights.
