A fairly open affair where it could be worth siding with SHYRON. He was beaten only narrowly by Spare Parts over C&D last time out, and may well have won that if the race had panned out differently. He's been put up just 2lb, which still gives him every chance, and he is taken to exact revenge over his reopposing rival. They may be the first two home again, ahead of Unforgiving Minute.
