Ivy Avenue completed a double over a mile in the summer and has struggled from her raised mark while Vischio was beaten in a Lingfield seller last month. KNIGHT OF MALTA, who is out of the Oaks winner Was, has never raced over a trip this far. He makes his handicap debut from what looks a tempting mark and is handed the vote. Son Of Hypnos has gone up 8lb for completing a double at Tipperary but his rider's claim takes care of most of that and he's an obvious threat. Jeff Kidder has run well over hurdles since scoring over the trip on testing ground at Bellewstown and further rain would aid his cause while Toora Loora has shown plenty of ability in maidens though meets in-form rivals on her handicap debut.
