KNOCKRAHA BOSS landed a point-to-point at Rathcannon in September before a very encouraging run behind the useful Exactoris at Cork when the long odds-on Babbling Stream was behind. Adrian Maguire's charge should have no problems going one better with normal progress. Winsome Bucks was beaten a long way when third at Tipperary though was up against two very smart performers and can improve. Ball D'arc had only two opponents when making a successful debut between the flags at Belharbour and has been outclassed in two very strong bumpers subsequently. Thinkinginmysleep looks the main threat as he was always in the firing line before succumbing close home to Concience at Downpatrick and this is a shorter trip.
