    Verdict

    Klopp of The Kop took advantage of a slide down the weights and scored over track and trip last month but TILSITT has been threatening a return to winning ways with a couple of placed efforts here and it could be his turn today. King Of Tonga finished a close third in an amateurs' race at Redcar 10 days ago while Zoravan won this in 2018 but hasn’t scored since. Tanasoq steps up in trip but can figure if lasting home.
