Maiden Stakes | Chase | 2m 108y
Going: Heavy
Pure Steel
PURE STEEL clearly didn't give his running when stepped up in grade last time but he won readily over this C&D in December and can make amends back in novice company. I Am Lorenzo is open to improvement over fences having created a favourable impression at Fairyhouse last month, while Relieved of Duties is better judged on his first two chase starts.

Made a promising start over fences, winning readily here in December. Fifth of 5 in Grade 3 chase over 19.5f 35 days ago, clearly didn't give his running stepped up in grade. Returns to novice company where he can make his presence felt.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPunchestown2m 3f 115ySoftChase5/5Punchestown2m 65yHeavyChase1/7Naas2mSoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Chase3/16Cork2m 190yYielding to SoftHurdle1/11Cork1m 7f 145ySoft (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle4/20- 1Break My SoulJ: Keith DonoghueT: Ian Patrick Donoghue, Ireland24-4147Age 79/29/25/1

Won impressively on chasing debut in November but has disappointed in two runs since in graded company, seventh of 9 in Grade 1 chase at Leopardstown (50/1) 51 days ago. Drop in class can only aid her cause.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown2m 1fYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase7/9Cork2m 200ySoftChase4/8Gowran Park2mHeavyChase1/7Punchestown2m 45yYieldingHurdle4/6Aintree2m 4fGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/6- 4Relieved Of DutiesJ: Jordan Colin GainfordT: Gordon Elliott, Ireland4-F5125Age 79/27/24/1

Won on chasing debut in October and better form when second at Cheltenham next time. Tailed-off fifth of 5 in Grade 2 chase at this C&D (11/2) 84 days ago, when upped in class. Better judged on his first two chase starts but further progress may come over longer trips.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPunchestown2m 43ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Chase5/5Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase2/7Fairyhouse2m 110yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase1/8Killarney2m 1fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle5/8Galway2m 11yGood (Good to Yielding in places)HurdleF/19- 2I Am LorenzoJ: Sean FlanaganT: Paul Nolan, Ireland228-231Age 713/215/27/1

Surpassed hurdles form at the first attempt over fences, landing maiden chase at Fairyhouse (11/1) 31 days ago, needing every inch of the trip.

Useful hurdler who fared much better than first try chasing when third of 10 in maiden chase over 23.9f here 46 days ago, back in headgear and much improved from his chase debut. Takes a significant drop in trip.
