Royal Bond on Present's radar

SOME Present could return to action at Fairyhouse towards the end of the month after his second-place finish at Cheltenham on Friday.

Last season’s Champion Bumper runner-up made a winning debut over obstacles at Punchestown in October, but has since finished runner-up twice.

The six-year-old was beaten less than a length by Sweeps Hill on his penultimate start, in a race run at a crawl, while he finished strongly to get to within half a length of Loosen My Load in another slowly-run affair on Friday.
