A few wtth chances but Gavin Cromwell's PURE SIRLOIN took a big step forward returned to hurdling when going in at Navan and can make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights given he didn't enjoy the best of runs there and this step up in trip seems sure to suit. Handicap debutant Atacanter caught the eye when a running-on fifth at Naas last time and is next on the list with more to come ahead of the well-weighted duo Indie Belle and Junior Rattler.
