        In depth

        Verdict

        Silca Soprano was an impressive winner last time and can follow up here at the expense of Persian Fox and Spanish Hidalgo. The selection stayed the seven furlongs well in that Southwell event by coming from well off the pace to get up in the last couple of strides to beat Easy Lover, with the third well beaten off. She should be suited by this extra distance and can make it back-to-back victories. Top-weight Spanish Hidalgo made it third time lucky when beating a decent field of maidens at Lingfield last time. The handicapper has been a little bit harsh but he should still be thereabouts. Persian Fox also hit winning form last time, landing a class five maiden at Yarmouth. He is certainly on the upgrade and will be hard to keep out of the places. The pick of the others could be Deccan Express, but our idea of the winner is Silca Soprano.
