Verdict
Million Reasons completed a hat-trick with a victory over 7f at Wolverhampton earlier in the week but carries a double penalty in this and GLORIOUS CHARMER (NAP) is more favourably treated. The latter escapes punishment for winning an apprentices’ race over today’s trip a week ago and winning partner Aidan Keeley can utilise his 7lb allowance on this occasion. Atrafan’s winning run came to end at Southwell but Edessann finished in front of Wicklow Warrior when runner-up over course and distance last time and Due A Win and Oriental Lilly could also go well.
