Verdict

Caim Hill may have been fortunate to land a Limerick Grade 2 on his latest start last April and a penalty plus the long absence may prove too much for him. In Compliance has never repeated the sort of form that saw him beat War Of Attrition in the 2006 John Durkan and looked very one-paced at Clonmel last time in the race where Dooneys Gate easily beat Northern Alliance. The latter hasn't won since 2009 and is probably better over further these days. Rock Street, who hasn't won for exactly two years, may need this after an absence since June so with all the allowances and his stable still firing them in, QUISCOVER FONTAINE has to be the selection. Willie Mullins' charge was having his first run since April when runner-up to Psycho over this C&D last month and can take this before a likely tilt at the Ryanair Chase.
