Muffraaj has already had a good season but NIGHT TRADE was beaten less than a length off this mark over C&D last time and can take this. Soft ground is no problem for Ron Harris' four-year-old and he's preferred to Jungle Bay, who is better over further, and Interakt. The latter has done all of his winning at a lower level. Sharpened Edge could run into a place but Folkestone winner Silenzio looks vulnerable under a penalty and Stonecrabstomorrow is still forced to race from out of the handicap proper, despite a couple of recent wins at Epsom and Brighton.
