Spangled Mac (4/1), Hickory (11/2), Mobashr (15/2), Quinault (8/1), Star Of Orion (9/1), Popmaster (10/1), Abduction (12/1), Bless Him (12/1), Orbaan (16/1), Havana Blue (18/1), Love De Vega (20/1), Ropey Guest (20/1), Top Secret (25/1), Escobar (40/1)
SPANGLED MAC resumed winning ways in some style in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury and with the headgear again sported he can make light of a 3 lb rise. Havana Blue should benefit from this return to 7f and could emerge as the chief threat, although Quinault can't be ruled out too as he bids for win number seven of 2023. Star of Orion and Love de Vega complete the shortlist in a cracking handicap.
