Compliance Heads Six Declared For The Hennessy Bookmakers William Hill have installed Michael O'Brien's In Compliance as their 5-4 favourite for this Saturday's Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown. The Grade 1 contest will be the geldings' first outing over the three-mile trip and if does impress in the Hennessy then connections could let the seven-year-old take his chance in the Totesport Gold Cup at the Cheltenham Festival. Lexus Chase winner, the Listener is the 2-1 second favourite for the race, while Beef Or Salmon, who was second in the Lexus Chase is rated a 100-30 chance by William Hill for the Leoparstown showpiece. Other declarations include In Compliance's stable mate Forget The Past, who looks set to bypass the Hennessy and instead take his chance in the Red Mills Chase, Michael Hourigan's second string Hi Cloy and the sole novice in the race Patsy Hall. Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup: (William Hill Bet) 5-4 In Compliance, 7-4 The Listener, 3-1 Beef Or Salmon, 6-1 Forget The Past (Doubtful), 20-1 Hi Cloy, 25-1 Patsy Hall ? Each-way ? - 1-2
