Verdict

ENERGUMENE was forced to miss Cheltenham but he capped a near-flawless first season over fences with another dominant performance at Punchestown in the spring and is clearly the one to beat on return. The high-class Notebook looked as good as ever when making a winning comeback in a Grade 2 at Navan and rates a big threat in receipt of 2 lb.
