Whitehead Lad is running well and it was no disgrace to go down fighting behind the in-form Come To The Party at Downpatrick. He looks certain to go well though CLASHNABROOK looks the one to be on. A good winner at Limerick's Christmas fixture, he appeared to run in snatches under a penalty at Tramore three days later and didn't get going until too late but can take this from 3lb lower. Norah Starr found 2m too sharp at Navan after a better run over this trip at Cork and looks a threat while the improving Mark Me Up won a novices' handicap in good style at Down Royal on Wednesday and his penalty is almost negated by his rider's claim.
