King Of Tonga was engaged at Ayr last night. Kick On Kick On hasn’t won for more than three years but is well treated as a result and was second at Newmarket last month under William Buick. Daniel Deronda was a winner here 11 days ago and should make a bold bid to defy a 4lb rise but Gina Mangan has struck up a good understanding with ALMOST AN ANGEL and takes 7lb off again. Hachert has been getting closer but Foxy Femme went up 5lb for winning in a lower grade at Bath last month.
