A draw on the wide outside would normally rule out KNIGHT OF MALTA but testing conditions can enable the son of War Front out of Oaks winner Was to overcome that problem after a more than pleasing debut behind stable companion Hong Kong on testing ground here in October.

Eshtiya, a daughter of Dark Angel out of a Listed winner, is a newcomer to note as is Sheer Bravado from the Bolger yard while Red Ball Of Fire is by Canford Cliffs and the first foal of a winning miler from a speedy family.
