      In depth

      Verdict

      KING KEVIN has won four of his last seven, three of them here, and though beaten from a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield last time that was a better race than this and he looks to have been found another winning opportunity. Golconda Prince has yet to win in 14 starts and makes his debut on the surface and Perceived looks more of a threat. She was only receiving 2lb when narrowly beaten by the selection over the track and trip last month though her rival badly missed the break and had to come from a very long way behind. Echo Brava once showed some promise but that was a very long time ago.
