KNOCKRAHA KING firmly left his maiden form behind to score on handicap bow at Clonmel three weeks ago. The runner-up that afternoon has since run well again and with the pair having forged well clear of the remainder, an 8lb hike looks fair on the winner in his bid to follow up. Samanntom and The Conker Club will both be competitive in this race if able to transfer recent form over fences while Conna Cross should also give a decent account assuming the ground is not bottomless. Zipporah took advantage of a handy lead and a reduced mark to win last time but may find it tougher now. 1. Knockraha King 2. Zipporah 3. Samanntom
