GETTHEPOT ended last term on the up for Graeme McPherson and is taken to go in at the first time of asking on his return with new handler Fergal O'Brien among the winners. Flexi Furlough has her fitness proven and is next on the list on the back of her good Perth second, with in-form Not What It Seems also not taken lightly now going into handicaps.
