Verdict

STEP BY STEP showed enough on his Ballinrobe debut 30 days ago to suggest he's capable of winning this, having been awkward early and lost ground at the last before keeping on well in the final stages. Open to improvement second time up, he's preferred to Chairmanforlife, who left his disappointing debut behind when runner-up in conditions company at Listowel last month and can be competitive back in maiden grade.
