Paul Townend was on board when Knockraha King scored at Clonmel but not when beaten by today's rival CLOUNTS MEADOWS at Thurles last time. Adrian Maguire's charge has plenty of weight and his form is on heavy going, as is that of the winner, who wasn't beaten far over slightly further than this at Tramore later. Ricky Doyle's claim is a bonus for Mick Winters' charge who can get back to winning ways. Sir Jack Yeats hails from a yard going well and scored over fences at Tramore in August though failed to take advantage of a much lower hurdles rating in subsequent starts. Lash It On is worth a market check as he reverts to hurdles on a 7lb lower mark than when scoring over fences on good going at Tramore in August.
