Verdict
RUSSIAN REWARD has been allocated a handicap mark of 82 having placed again on his comeback at Newbury. He should be winning this on favourable terms with the likes of Racing's Dream and My Mate. The former ran well at Chelmsford last time and My Mate should do better in this having cut little ice in handicaps of late. Whistler Mountain has yet to threaten but Treasury Notes finished ahead of Dark Light when fourth here on his debut and can figure with normal progress.
