FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SHANNON BANK is a half-sister to a 3m winner at this course and may improve for stepping up markedly in trip after a respectable showing on handicap debut at Sligo. Gavin Cromwell’s runner had placed form in bumpers at up to 2m4f, ran well here on debut and handles easy ground. Doyen Flyer had Moonshine Girl behind when just denied a breakthrough win over this trip at Ballinrobe. That was her second start after a break and she can contend again if coming forward from that outing. Barryroe Madam was progressive over further in early summer but lacks a recent run as does Lough Nigara who was hooded for the first time when third to the former in May. %0A%0A
