Verdict
Klopp returned to winning ways over track and trip last time while Loulin finished in front of Global Humor when scoring here on New Year’s Eve. Kick On Kick On returned a beaten favourite for the third time in succession at Wolverhampton last time but PRIMO’S COMET finished ahead of Longroom when fourth over course and distance and may be the one to side with dropping down in class with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause. Tathmeen is regularly thereabouts in this grade but Rockley Point faces a tougher task than of late.
