P2P comment: Out of a Step To Honour mare who was a Tramore Handicap Hurdle winner over 2 miles, the Alkaadhem gelding Alka Step took the required step forward from debut second at Lisronagh which saw him finish second behind a horse who has already come out an proven himself in winners’ company by finishing third at Taylorstown a week later, when getting off the mark at Necarne. The grey gelding became the second winner to emerge from that same Lisronagh contest, as Port Rashid, whom he finished 10-lengths in front of, was a winner at Bartlemy 24 hours later. At Necarne Alka Step kept on dourly to hit the front on the run-in and get the better of the sole other finisher, the previous Loughanmore runner-up Williamthesixth by a length.
