Promise in both bumpers in the spring, second occasion when mid-field behind stablemate Absolute Notions in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper at Punchestown; started over hurdles with a fair run in third behind the long odds-on Il Etait Temps at Thurles; mistake at the last probably cost him second; should be in the mix now.
