        Verdict

        Atrafan has been in superb form on Tapeta, winning four of his last five with three of them here, though his only defeat in that period came when racing from this mark. Million Reasons was conceding him 8lb when beaten less than a length earlier this month and has a 3lb pull. Fircombe Hall won here in November and January and can't have been right when well beaten on his latest start though he has nothing in hand over RED ALLURE (NAP) on their 1-2 in the former event. The latter, who has changed stables, was beaten a neck that day in receipt of 3lb and gets 10lb here.
