TRAINER Paul Hennessy has described Cheltenham Festival heroine Heaven Help Us as his “mare of a lifetime” after connections called time on her racing career at the age of nine.

Hennessy’s stable star will be best remembered for a memorable spring in 2021 when bolting up by nine lengths in the Coral Cup under Richie Condon at 33/1, having previously landed the Grade B Paddy Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.
