Bop It is only 2lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago and warmed up nicely for a repeat bid when a close second at Ayr. Whozthecat looked to be running into form last week at Thirsk and By Rights was second over this course and distance last month. Etienne Gerard was third at Leicester after winning at Windsor and both Razin' Hell and Native Falls are knocking on the door again. SALVATORE FURY has tumbled down the weights this year and may now be ready to take advantage with a relatively high draw probably an advantage in sprint races here when the ground is fast.
