Verdict

AWAAL has produced cracking placed efforts in two of the biggest 1m handicaps of the season and can land a big pot now dropping back to 7f. Spangled Mac shaped well in a pair of Royal Ascot handicaps 48 hours apart and is second choice. Biggles and last year's winner Bless Him also make the shortlist.

  1. AWAAL (IRE)
  2. SPANGLED MAC (IRE)
  3. BIGGLES
