Bel Sas was undoubtedly disappointing when well beaten by stable companion Screaming Rose at Killarney, with Aunt Eileen a distance behind, and the winner did nothing for the form here during the week. PENHILL, another of the Willie Mullins battalions, has won two out of three over hurdles and broke a blood vessel in the other. He did remarkably well to score at Galway as his jumping left plenty to be desired but intensive schooling should have put that right and he looks a smart prospect. All The Answers also scored at Galway where he beat the disappointing Silver Concorde in good style and he's progressing fast enough to suggest he can give the Mullins pair a race with his allowance. The remainder have it all to do.
