In depth
Verdict
TYSON started favourite at Newbury just over two weeks ago but ran green. With that experience under his belt, the grey son of Starspangledbanner can recoup losses. Dr Youmzain and Cassielare both by Dark Angel so should not be short of speed with a similar comment applying to the Invincible Spirit colt Benzema. Shaladar is also worth a market check but the filly Lucy Lulu may be facing a tough task.
