Race preview
SON OF HYPNOS may be able to follow up wins at Galway and Tipperary. He's up 8lb for that latter victory but a good claimer negates most of that rise and he seems versatile regarding ground conditions. Jeff Kidder is up 3lb for a win on his last Flat start at Bellewstown and is partnered by the season's leading apprentice. He's up in class a fair bit and might find a couple too good. Out of an Oaks winner, Knight Of Malta takes a big step up in trip and is an interesting handicap debutant along with Khairy who ran quite well in his first two runs in maidens. Camorra ran fairly well in a competitive heat at Killarney last time and is not ruled out.
