Verdict

Armed And Fabulous did well in bumpers for Mags Mullins and has joined the champion trainer, who also has OLYMPIC MAN engaged. A winner on the Flat in France, he was reappearing after over two years off when placed here in August and with improvement virtually guaranteed can take this on the way to better things. Free Flowing should be winning soon after three placed efforts in maidens before beaten in much stronger company at Punchestown. Pour Les Filles scored between the flags in May last year before landing a Leopardstown bumper in December. She wasn't beaten far in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April and makes her hurdling debut though will stay further than this in time.
