STEPPING DOWN couldn't have done much more on her debut at Tramore as the winner, Right Up My Street, is well regarded. She might even have won but for hanging due to inexperience and this should prove within her capabilities. Jan Van Eyck is the top rated which is no surprise as he has some strong form to his credit though he looks vulnerable to a less-exposed type. Instant Update is by Pivotal out of a 1m4f winner so any market support on his debut should be duly noted. The remainder will need to improve to get involved.
