FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Gordon Elliott gave QUEENS BROOK a strong mention in a Racing Post stable tour last month, with the Mares Hurdle at Cheltenham again her ultimate aim. She subsequently went off at odds-on on her return to action at Limerick but could surprisingly manage only third. Perhaps in need of that run, she is given the chance to redeem herself. Heaven Help Us finished four-and-a-half lengths in front of the selection at Greenmount Park and will be fancied by many to uphold the form. It is disappointing though, that she hasn't managed to win a race since her brilliant all the way success in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham in 2021. The other seven runners will find it difficult to cope with the aforementioned pair. Copper Nation failed to make an impact in a Listed contest at Killarney in May, but might be able to pick up some valuable black type here. The admirable Getaway Queen is also worth a mention, turned out again quickly after registering an eighth career success at Dundalk on Wednesday.
