      Verdict

      Al Meezan was well beaten on his recent debut but the remainder can all be given a chance. Could Be and Strategic Strike showed promise on their recent outings at Kempton while Divergence wasn't beaten far when fifth at Leicester in September, although the latter steps up in trip for her return. So does ANOTHER COCKTAIL but after making the frame in three starts over a mile last term, Hughie Morrison's colt was always expected to excel once tackling middle-distances and the Epsom and Irish Derby entry gets Richard Hughes on board for his reappearance and can make it a winning one.
