Very Much So is set to return from a near two-year hiatus in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival.

Willie Mullins' six-year-old, owned by the Supreme Horse Racing Club, has not been sighted since winning a Punchestown bumper in April 2014.

He is, though, back to full fitness and will flex his muscles in one of the most keenly contested races of the Festival.

Steve Massey, racing manager for Supreme Horse Racing Club, said: "Very Much So is in good form and goes for the Bumper."

Fellow Supreme runner Myska also trained by Mullins, is bound for the inaugural Trull House Stud Mares' Novices' Hurdle at the big meeting later this month.

"She was disappointing at Punchestown last time, but coughed after the race and hopefully she can bounce back," said Massey.

Fellow Supreme representative Avant Tout meanwhile, holds five Festival entries, comprising of races over fences and hurdles.

"Avant Tout has several options and at the moment it's undecided which race he will go for," said Massey.

"It looks like we'll have the four, including Open Eagle going over, which is hugely exciting.

"Just to have a runner at Cheltenham is a dream come true for everyone involved, so fingers crossed they all get there in one piece.

"We wouldn't be taking them unless we thought they were capable of doing themselves justice and to have four going there with chances is incredible for such a young club.

"To have a winner would be out of this world."
