Top Line Tommy has been hurdling and was in good form during the summer but is having his first all-weather start. KALANOURA was conceding Stay With Me 18lb when beaten just over 4 lengths three weeks ago and is 7lb better off so gets the vote to reverse the form as the winner was all out at the finish. Arctic Blaze is still a maiden after 13 starts but has dropped to a lowly mark and ran much better last time as did Sleepy Head, though that was over 2m. Macaban City won over the track and trip in November and has run well the last twice though could have done without a 2lb rise.
