Verdict
PURE STEEL shaped with abundant promise on his chasing debut at Naas when finishing third with plenty left in the tank. This smart prospect can progress significantly here. Its Bilbo, a previous course winner with Grade 2 hurdles form, should build on his fencing debut. Chance Another One arrives in top form following an impressive Kempton success but faces a shorter trip.
