Verdict
King Of Tonga came good with a narrow-margin success at Redcar recently. He’s fancied to confirm running with Olivia R, despite a penalty, but TOPICAL may prove a bigger threat. Richard Hannon’s colt has surrendered the lead in the closing stages in both starts over 7f and the drop back to today’s trip seems a logical move. The Cotswold Wasp and Epaulini are related to winners and preferred to Tim Easterby’s duo Golden Parade and Ugo Gregory of the newcomers.
