King Kevin is not out of this returning to 1m4f for the first time since winning here in March. Silver Character went close over track and trip last week and Clovelly Bay ran much better at Goodwood last time having slid down the weights. Refrain found one too good here on his handicap debut and should be thereabouts at the finish once again but FITZSIMMONS also has plenty of scope now handicapping and Saeed bin Suroor’s charge gets the vote after landing the odds in facile fashion at Brighton last time.
