KNOCKRAHA KING (NAP) had a second successive battle with Clounts Meadow at Tipperary on Thursday but once again lost out to that rival, though this time in the steward's room after bumping him on the run-in. He's on the same mark here and is running so well he gets the vote to gain compensation despite facing a longer trip. Na Trachtalai Abu has no problems with the trip having scored over the course and distance. He's been running reasonably well over fences and can return to hurdling off a lower mark so has to be on the short-list. Nobody Home has yet to win in 19 career starts but has done better since stepping up to this trip and his rider's claim can enable him to get competitive. The Rite Article won over the trip at Wexford last summer and could go well if the ground remains good while Our Sox has also won over the distance and reverts to hurdles after a spell over fences.
