Klopp scored over course and distance in November but beat WILLOW BROOK by only a head. The latter was having her first outing since May on that occasion, having switched to Julie Camacho’s yard in the interim, and she gets the vote to turn the tables with that run under her belt. Hanakotoba has failed to figure since scoring at Kempton in October but Oxygenic and Madame Vitesse remain unexposed with the latter likely to improve now handicapping for the first time.
