        Verdict

        Both of Geography Teacher’s victories have been at Southwell though he’s run well on this track in the past. KLOPP has had his last four starts here, scoring twice over the minimum. He was only beaten a head over the trip last time and this looks an easier task. Platinum Coast, who makes her handicap debut, has been showing speed before weakening quickly while Camachess was racing in better company last season and will be better for her reappearance at Kempton. Firsteen made a promising handicap debut over the track and trip in January and won’t need much more to get off the mark.
