Make The Switch won well over the course and distance in December but didn't run as well as expected over 2m last month. Colin Keane made Top Line Tommy's mind up a long way from home over the track and trip last week and his mount came with a strong late burst to snatch the spoils though he's now 7lb higher. LAURA BULLION was in good form here in November and will be ready for this as she's missed several recent engagements. She's won from a higher mark an, with her rider's claim a plus, she can get back on the winning trail. Drakensberg hasn't been beaten far in any of his last three races and his young rider's claim puts him in the frame. Sister Eliza was going on strongly over the track and trip last time and Billy Lee takes over from an apprentice.
