Weight could prove big issue for winning machine at Exeter

Skywards Reward
1.50 Carlisle
SP forecast 7-4

Not a huge amount of promise in first season over hurdles last year, but in the form of his life now and, having got off the mark with a five-length win off a mark of 94 in February, ran at least as well again when a half-length second off a 9lb higher mark last month. Up another 3lb but the trainer's resident apprentice, who is 2-14 for the yard this term, takes off 10lb.

Conclusion This is competitive, but he is going the right way so stick with.
