BENIE DES DIEUX looked the next top mare for the prolific Mullins-Ricci combination when winning by 30L on Boxing Day. She jumped her rivals senseless at Limerick and will take an awful lot of beating here in what could be a very exciting campaign. The biggest danger is probably classy hurdler Lastbutnotleast. Donald McCain's mare could herself be a very smart chaser and the bigger obstacles shouldn't hold any terrors as a point-to-point winner in the past. Best of the rest could prove to be the lightly raced Tacenda.
