The Road To Fame posted a very pleasing effort when runner-up in the concluding bumper at Punchestown on 26 November for Eoin Doyle. The 4yo son of Fame And Glory had run well in a Ballinrobe bumper six months previously but has clearly progressed a lot since then. He made headway out of the pack before the straight to chase the leaders and stayed on strongly inside the last to chase home the well regarded Willie Mullins trained winner. He looks sure to pick up a similar contest before making his mark over obstacles for new connections.
