Verdict
RISK 'N' REWARD has shown improved form this year and landed a double at Southwell last month. He bids for a hat-trick under a double penalty but faces only modest opposition in this so gets the nod. Louis Vee wasn't beaten far over 5f here earlier in the week and Tom Hall went close at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Seraphima won a Class 7 event here last time while Hamis Al Bin scored over track and trip in December.
