WHITEHEAD LAD appeared to have a fair chance in a much stronger race here at 6.55 last night in which Celtic Brave and Liberty Gale were also engaged so prospective punters should keep an eye on for that result as a penalty may apply. Providing the former comes through intact he can take this. Fammi Sognare had her first start beyond 1m2f when fourth in a claimer at Wexford last time, but could only stay on at one pace and has another furlong to travel here. Hawk Dance showed potential in maidens and didn't appreciate the Polytrack surface at Dundalk on her handicap debut. She can probably do better while Grandpa Joe showed his first sign of ability with a decent front-running display at Sligo though that was on soft ground and conditions will probably be very different here.
