Forecasts

Klopp (7/2), Pearl Of Qatar (5/1), Global Humor (13/2), Kick On Kick On (7/1), Loulin (8/1), Primo's Comet (8/1), Tathmeen (9/1), Rockley Point (12/1), Longroom (20/1), Suwaan (33/1), Jan Van Hoof (33/1), Charlemaine (50/1)

KLOPP is at the top of her game, and for all she had advantages when scoring for a fourth time over C&D last month she looked value for that win and can follow up with the burgeoning Laura Pearson booked. Loulin is proving more consistent than most at this level and has a good chance again having dug deep to see off one here on New Year's Eve who scored next time. Rockley Point also appeals.
