        Verdict

        John Gosden boasts an outstanding strike rate with two-year-olds representatives here and ALMASHRIQ will likely prove popular on his debut. The US-bred colt cost a whopping $1.2 million as a yearling and Jim Crowley prefers him to another newcomer in Mosakhar. Cape Victory and Transpennine Gold are others to note on their racecourse debuts while Cheap Jack makes most appeal of those with experience having showed a big improvement when runner-up over track and trip last month.
