HEAVEN HELP US wasn't disgraced when sixth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham and holds leading claims at these weights so gets the nod in a very open contest. Whiskey Sour heads the list of dangers on the back of his Leopardstown success, although fellow recent scorers Flame Bearer and Santa Rossa both seem sure to have a say too.
