Racing:Just six horses, including In Compliance and The Listener, have been declared for Saturday's Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown.
The Grade One Chase sees the return of Robert Alner's The Listener, who scored a rare British jumping victory on Irish soil when depriving Beef Or Salmon of a fourth victory in the Lexus Chase over course and distance over Christmas.
The Michael Hourigan-trained Beef Or Salmon also returns having won this race twice before — including last year when he beat Hedgehunter, who is missing after Willie Mullins warned he was not 100% satisfied with his well-being.
Hourigan could also run the useful Hi Cloy, who would be stepping up in trip from his usual distances.
But of more interest are In Compliance and Forget The Past, both trained by Michael O'Brien and owned by Sean Mulryan.
The former showed his obvious potential by defeating Cheltenham Gold Cup winner War Of Attrition in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase in December.
Last year's Gold Cup third Forget The Past has also been in fine form this season, winning well at Thurles last month.
The novice Patsy Hall completes the sextet.
