King Of Tonga is on a long losing run but the handicapper is finally starting to show him some leniency. Kats Bob has been knocking on the door and cheekpieces are added today so he has to go on the shortlist but he wasn’t far ahead of AQUAMAS at Thirsk last month and Michael Dods’ maiden had little luck in-running and is 3lb better off. Ventura Vision should also be in the firing-line as she usually runs her race.
