Verdict
BELGIAN BILL continues to enhance his reputation around here and only just failed to hold on over 1m2f last week after taking up the running at this trip so he can gain another track victory. Suyoof won three times at Turffontein including a Group 3 and raced at a higher level on his next two starts so could be well treated. Bravo Zolo won five times when trained in the UK including a Listed contest at Chantilly in October while the very lightly-raced Tumbaga, a dual winner on Polytrack in 2015, wouldn't have been kept by Godolphin unless thought capable of winning again. Silent Attack is definitely better than he showed last month.
