Last year's shock Coral Cup winner Heaven Help Us was racing in strong company all last winter and returns after a break as does winning point-to-pointer and bumper QUEENS BROOK, who ended a light campaign last season with a superb effort in the Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, form that would be good enough for this. Kilbarry Chloe thrived on heavy ground in the spring completing a double with a convincing victory in a Grade 3 over the track and trip. She's only five so there should be plenty more to come though she has a penalty to carry. Molly Wedger was in good form in the summer but takes on better company and the remainder have plenty to find.
