Chelmsford winner Haddaf returned a losing favourite here yesterday and this is tougher. Tranchee scored on Fibresand on his first start for Ivan Furtado and will need to prove he handles this quicker surface. Maqboola followed up a victory over 7f here by winning over this trip at Kempton but she steps up a grade for this off a 10lb higher mark. EXMOOR BEAST (NAP) has only raced over trip once before, finishing second at Chelmsford, but he has always shown plenty of pace over 1m2f and was on an upward curve at the end of last year. Silver Dust is starting to look well treated so is preferred to the likes of One To Go and Fortune And Glory.
