Race preview
KING OF TONGA picked up minor money over 6f at Thirsk last time but he was tapped for toe inside the final furlong and promises to be suited by this stiffer test. An opening mark of 81 appears fair for Richard Fahey's charge, who has bagged a good draw in stall one. Penalised Kempton scorer Indian Sounds and Tom Dascombe's thriving hat-trick seeker, Iconic Choice, are others expected to take a hand.
