Plenty in with chances but the tentative vote goes to TOP LINE TOMMY, who finally got off the mark over obstacles on his penultimate outing at Tramore and back over hurdles, Edward O'Grady's 7-y-o can take advantage of his lower mark in this sphere. Hidalgo des Mottes is going through a good spell at the moment, so he's fancied to be in the shake-up, along with Our Bobby and Cassarina Gold.
