SEAN AIRGEAD wasn't beaten far by Ongenstown Lad over 2m4f here last month and the winner's subsequent form suggests Mark McNiff's charge can take this despite the drop in trip. Sister Steve ran very well behind Banna Man over this trip at Roscommon before finding an extra three furlongs beyond her at Kilbeggan. After landing a Down Royal maiden, Shabra Charity has only shown moderate form in handicaps and will need to do better but Top Of The Head improved dramatically to chase home Baby Whizz at Ballinrobe and further progress must see him go close.
