      Verdict

      Cool Judgement may be able to make a winning return to action, perhaps at the expense of Riverscape. The selection didn't always look entirely straightforwards last year and it was by no means a strong race that he won here in October. However, he's the sort that should get better with age as he steps up in trip and his connections presumably feel that he has more to offer this season. Riverscape has racefitness on his side following a pleasing run at Windsor but this slightly shorter trip isn't certain to suit particularly if this develops into a tactical affair. Mizooka has yet to travel beyond a mile but looked in need of a trip last time whilst Riqaab's latest run is beginning to look far better than it did at the time and the handicapper may have taken a chance with him. Kyrie Eleison has a little more to prove at this trip on this ground and makes least appeal of the quintet to our eyes and Cool Judgement is our idea of the winner.
