Verdict
FLAME BEARER has moved to Willie Mullins after a superb novice career over timber where his hat-trick contained two Grade 2 victories. Runner-up to brilliant new stablemate State Man in the Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown, he looks an outstanding chasing debutant. Journey With Me was unbeaten in a point, a bumper and maiden and novice hurdles before falling in the Ballymore. He also fell on his chasing bow at Gowran so has questions to answer. Mars Harper did well over timber and could be an even better chaser after running into a couple of very smart performers in his two runs over fences while My Immortal is also bred for the bigger obstacles.
