Verdict

MUKALAL is an interesting runner here and he was entitled to need his return at Royal Ascot last time. Still lightly raced, he could prove to be the one to beat here if he's improved for wind surgery in the off-season. Spanish Steps is a consistent sort who represents a yard flying and he couldn't be ruled out from the bottom of the weights. Gilgamesh was far from disgraced at Royal Ascot last time and it's likely he's more than capable of winning races from this sort of mark.
  1. Mukalal
  2. Spanish City
