SHADY MCCOY and Zwayyan are very closely matched based on their meeting here penultimately but the former just about got the best of that argument and can again now 1lb better off after his rival won last time out. Silver Quartz is held in high regard by a shrewd trainer and is the sort who could still be open to improvement even late on his three-year-old campaign.
