Charles Byrne has an outstanding bunch of bumper horses this season so Thosedaysaregone, a half-brother to four winners, should be noted in the market. Denis Hogan has his team in good form and The Granson can get into the action though he'll probably need to improve to beat the two winning point-to-pointers from major yards. SOMETIME SOON made a very impressive debut at Kirkistown in November which is why Gigginstown went to £225,000 to purchase him so he's taken to get off the mark under Rules at the expense of Stay Humble, another easy winner on his debut at Ballynoe in April.
