Plenty of winning track form with ATRAFAN (NAP) having completed a double over the trip last winter. He’ll be better for a recent run after a break and looks well treated. Redzone is 8lb higher than when scoring here last month while Independent Beauty was a 66/1 chance when very nearly losing her maiden tag here earlier this month when a head behind The Grey Bay, who didn’t enhance the form next time. The maiden Birdie Bowers has looked as though another furlong would suit in his last two starts and Glorious Charmer hasn’t won in 14 all-weather starts.
