With the Clive Brittain team in such good form at present it may pay to give Shiny another chance to prevail in a tricky little contest where Lunar Leo and Sea Storm are both capable of giving the selection plenty to think about. However, Shiny is a tough and consistent performer who will appreciate this ease in grade and may just have too much determination for his rivals today. Binanti is another who returns to a more realistic level and has to be feared as a live danger. But recently he has not looked to be the same horse that cruised to victory at Goodwood last term and may lack the resolution of Shiny if this turns into dogfight.
