KING OF TONGA is on a long losing run but this looks a decent opportunity dropped to a seller and he can usually be relied upon to give his running. Desert History shaped better than the bare result starting out for this yard at Pontefract and rates a big threat on his best form. Al Gaiya and Emraan look best of the others.
