Race Tip

PURE STEEL (8) represents notable connections. Showed plenty of potential making chase debut when 12L third contesting a 2m beginners chase on soft ground at Naas a month ago. Progress expected second up. Leading chance. ITS BILBO (9) is a previous course winner. Last season posted a 7L second attempting a G2 Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse. Ran nicely on first chase attempt when 19L fourth over 2m1f at Navan last month. Worth including. Two-time Listed hurdle winner HARVARD GUY (7) was sixth that day at Navan. The seven-year-old is open to plenty of improvement. Worth a market check. ANOTHERWAY (3) ran fifth in the aforementioned Navan beginners chase. Next best.
