      Verdict

      Klopp has won over the minimum trip here on a couple of occasions but is more exposed than the other winners and handicap newcomers Solar Park and EDGEWOOD. The former landed the odds at Wolverhampton recently by a wide-margin but beat little so the latter makes more appeal. James Bethell’s colt won at Doncaster in November with a horse rated 83 back in third and he gets the vote to make a winning return with both Dancing Mountain and Evangeline Samos difficult to recommend.
