It was good ground at both Cork and Punchestown when ARBOR DES CHAMPS finished runner-up on both occasions. Emmet Mullins’ bumper winner may well be good enough in this despite giving weight to Theatre Dreams. The latter posted her best effort so far when second at Clonmel last week while Isn't She Lovely was placed over fences here in a hunter chase on her debut under Rules. Field Robin has made the frame on six occasions in 11 starts over timber but is likely to find at least one too good again.
