The consistent KING KEVIN (NAP) failed to land a hat-trick on his latest start at Chelmsford a week ago but was beaten only a length and doubts surround today’s opposition. Rainbow Rebel ran below par at Kempton last month and still looks a shade high in the weights while Regicide is not badly treated on last year’s best efforts but hasn’t raced since September. Dream Magic will find this much tougher than the claimer he won at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago while Bamako Du Chatelet remains 5lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in December.
