Dual winning pointer who made a positive start to his hunter career when 4 lengths second of 11 at Thurles (25f) 24 days ago. Should go well again.

Modest form at best over hurdles and also 0-7 in points. Headgear added for hunter chase debut. Best watched.

15/2
Point winner. Finished 11 lengths behind the reopposing Asphalt Cowboy on his Thurles hunter debut but seemed to pay for a big move into contention on that occasion and he's likely to improve for his top stable.

4/1
Twice-raced maiden. Left his first run under Rules well behind when second of 13 in hunter chase (100/1) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 22 days ago. Will be tough to beat with a repeat of that form.

Forecasts

Cause For Comment (6/4), Asphalt Cowboy (4/1), Step Up Son (4/1), Last Round (15/2), Drumcliff Bay (17/2), Cosmic Blizzard (9/1), Townhill Lass (80/1), Kingston Coole (150/1)

Verdict

If STEP UP SON is in the same form as when runner-up at Gowran 3 weeks ago he may have a bit too much for Thurles 2-3 Asphalt Cowboy and Last Round.

  1. Step Up Son4/1
  2. Asphalt Cowboy4/1
