In the Betway Handicap (7.45) at
Wolverhampton on Thursday, King Kevin has been kept busy
during the winter, but is holding his form remarkably well. Although
flattered by his proximity to easy winner Nonios at Chelmsford last
week, Ed Dunlop’s 4-year-old recorded a career-best performance
and, back over the course and distance where he’s already won three
times, off a 3lb lower mark, should make a bold bid to resume winning
ways.
The son of Holy Roman Emperor has yet
to win in this grade, but has already improved 30lb since September,
according to official figures, and may not have finished yet, despite
his taxing schedule. He has already run a dozen times since October,
so must be due a break soon, but he stuck to his task as well as ever
at Chelmsford as is clearly thriving with racing. He’s reunited
with Rab Havlin, who’s ridden him to all five victories, including
three over course and distance, and he can improve his (already
impressive) strike rate on synthetic surfaces.
