Alright Marlene has gone up 3lb since finishing second at Sedgefield in March and GETTHEPOT has been raised a similar amount for finishing runner-up at Ffos Las in June. The latter will almost certainly run his race again, however, and can get back on the winning trail, though he was only third behind Rock The House at Huntingdon in the spring and is 12lb worse off. Flexi Furlough has only found one too good the last twice and Not What It Seems travelled strongly for a long way here on his reappearance and will strip fitter today.
