      Verdict

      Staxton and Spoof have plenty on at the weights and JAWWAAL is taken to come back to winning form after not getting the clearest of passages in his last two runs in ultra-competitive high-quality handicaps. Previously progressive, he's dropped a couple of pounds on official ratings and now has first-time cheekpieces applied to aid concentration. Rebel Streak also looks quite attractively treated and Jason Watson's claim with help his cause further while Buffer Zone remains a colt of potential for the Juddmonte operation and is not ruled out. Airshow has each-way claims if forgiven a disappointing run last time at Windsor.
