FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MAJOR REWARD is a dual course winner who’s been running reasonably well all summer. His third to Rayounpour and subsequent winner Halimi at the Curragh in July was a good effort, and he wasn’t disgraced in a higher grade of handicap at this venue last month. The draw won’t help his cause but he should still go close. Golden Valour won twice here during last term's winter season and looks feasibly treated for his return to the all-weather. Eaglemont ran well in a couple of maidens before a poor run last time at Navan, but could bounce back under a talented claimer. Bella Brazil is a consistent type with form on the all-weather in Britain and could go well from a good draw.
