        In depth

        Verdict

        HAWAANA won well last time and he can score again at the main expense of Silaah and Everybody Knows. The selection was returning from a break when winning last time out, and the reality is that he is still very well treated on the pick of his old form. He should strip fitter this evening and he sets the standard for the others. Silaah is proven on this surface which is a big plus and he was a little unlucky when last seen out here in November behind Dazzling Bay. Everybody Knows only found Trafalgar Square too good last time at Lingfield and a reproduction of that effort should see him thereabouts at the finish. Stanley Goodspeed was returning from a break here last month and he looks sure to come on for the run so he is not out of this either. However, we will stick with Hawaana who looks primed for another big run.
