PENHILL completed a hat-trick in a Tipperary Grade 3 before stepping into the highest class at Fairyhouse. He was in touch and going well enough when brought to a standstill at the second last so compensation awaits here. His stable companion Livelovelaugh had some useful bumper form before landing a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe then didn't appear at his best on his return to action in a Grade 3 at Navan. Rathnure Rebel has to be a major threat after his demolition job in a Cork Grade 3 over this trip on testing ground. Call The Taxie is a progressive type but takes on a much tougher assignment and He Rock's has been chasing.
