PENNINE HILLS has failed to add to her opening victory at Fairyhouse but she's been racing in much stronger company, including a Listed race at Leopardstown on Saturday. With her fillies' allowance and Hugh Horgan's claim, she will be difficult to beat. HMS Endeavour showed good speed on his debut at Naas and put that experience to good use in what looked a decent Navan maiden while Anatoli won here before finishing last in the National Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday. Speedacus just holds Jarvis on their 1-2 in a Navan nursery while course and distance winner Lord Gorgeous has been mixing it in strong company.
