Verdict
HEAVEN HELP US is head and shoulders above these over hurdles having finished second in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last Christmas and probably only need jump round to make a winning start over fences. Smiling Eliza has won on the Flat and three times over timber though fell at the first on her only start over the bigger obstacles. The four-year-old Zarkareva gets plenty of allowances but she was beaten when falling two out on her chasing debut at Tipperary. Lucky Phil also fell at that same fence when there with a chance in July but has had a couple of confidence-boosters since.
