FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Runner-up in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, QUEENS BROOK needed her seasonal debut at Limerick and was much better when winning at Punchestown last month. This sort of distance is ideal for her and she can defy a 3lb penalty in a contest lacking depth. Shewearsitwell is best in at the weights but needed every yard of the trip when coming from well off the pace to win a three-mile handicap at Punchestown. She did win over this trip at a lower level of competition at Killarney in May but looks vulnerable dropping back to it now given her style of running last time. All the others have plenty to find on the book and maybe Copper Nation, who was having her first run for six months when third to the selection at Punchestown, can fare the best of the quartet. %0A
