FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Coral Cup winner HEAVEN HELP US finished behind several of these rivals on her seasonal reappearance at Punchestown but ran a better race on her return to Cheltenham earlier in the month. She finished fourth behind the geldings in a Grade 2 and, if jumping a bit more fluently, can regain the winning thread with the 2m4f trip likely to play to her strengths. Dysart Diamond just got the better of Royal Kahala in that aforementioned Punchestown contest and both have claims again while Cheltenham mares’ novice hurdle winner Telmesomethinggirl was fifth on that occasion and is better off at the weights here. Willie Mullins runs four in all and it’s interesting to see that Paul Townend sticks with the unbeaten Shewearsitwell despite her absence since winning a Grade 3 novice at Tipperary over a year ago.
