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.
