In depth
Verdict
This looks a match between Zola and Supreme Silence and the confident vote is given to Zola. The selection won well between the flags last time out when beating Prime Minister. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and he need only put in a clear round to score. Supreme Silence rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bedtime Boys but all his best form i s on a faster surface and for that reason he is opposed. Camden Carrig and Hades de Sienne are others with ability but are better over further and for the winner we return to Zola who gets the confident vote.
