Plenty arrive with a shout and it may pay to take a chance on C&D winner KING OF TONGA bouncing back. Revitalised by the switch to sprinting for his new yard this campaign, he can't have been himself at York when last seen 43 days ago and better can be expected from the plum draw in stall 1. Roman Dragon, returned to this venue, Sampers Seven and Lullaby Bay are others to consider.
