      In depth

      Verdict

      Klopp of The Kop is weighted to beat Crantock Bay though missed the whole of last year and has switched yards since. Blue Flame and El Ray also debut for new trainers having both raced over longer trips last term and Biggles is another competing over 6f for the first time. Seesawing makes no appeal but fellow newcomer PRAISE THE LORD is the first foal of Listed sprinter Hallelujah, who won three times over track and trip for James Fanshawe, and he may prove good enough at the first time of asking.
