Just like in the opener the market spoke loudly in favour of the winner, Sizing Titanium in the geldings maiden hurdle at Navan and he got the job done in the colours of Alan Potts.

Jonathan Burke produced the well backed 8/11 favourite (2/1 this morning) to lead after the third last and he was sent clear before the final flight.

The Tractor Man finished well on the run-in but could only get within a length-and-three-quarters of Jim Dreaper's charge at the line.

Sizing Titanium had been runner-up on his previous two starts including over course and distance at the start of the month.

"That will probably be it for the season. I know it's a bit of a cliche but he's a chaser in the making," said Dreaper.

"He's won a point to point so he should jump alright and we can look forward to next winter.

"I'd doubt that he'll run again although I would like to see him on better ground. He's a very fluent mover and I think he could be a bit better on decent ground."
