SAVATORE FURY (NAP) was winning off a 6lb higher mark on the all-weather back in April. Narrowly beaten at Carlisle last time, he looks set for a return to winning ways. Haydock winner Bop It failed to cope with a 5lb rise at Redcar last time while Niqnaaqpaadiwaaq was raised 15lb after beating a much higher rated favourite in a maiden and was well beaten on his latest start. Orion's Bow may prove a bigger threat dropping back down a grade but Ki Ki has lots of scope having made a winning start at Carlisle last month.
