If the market spoke in favour of Fit To Be Tied then he would have to be looked at seriously, as at some stage he's likely to improve plenty, but for the time being preference is for FLEMENSTORM, who has hit a purple patch of form and with conditions ideal here, can defy his latest weight rise. Shrewdoperator is another that hit paydirt last time and if getting this longer trip, wouldn't be without hope fo following up.
