IVY AVENUE is a consistent performer who is on a 4lb lower mark than her victory at Cork in April and can get back to winning ways. Winning hurdler Crassus has never scored on the Flat but was narrowly beaten at the Curragh and Galway in July and Colin Keane, who has been placed on him previously, takes over. Djasek enjoys very testing ground so if the going eases considerably he would have to be respected and though Spruce Meadows hasn't won for a year he showed a bit more dash at Dundalk last week. Prime Chief's two victories have been over shorter.
