Lennies again Hennessy's best - Maiden Derby set to go ahead

FOR the second week running, Lennies Desire proved best of Paul Hennessy's quartet of Towcester trials on Wednesday - and by more of a margin this time.

On a track rated -30, he posted 28.98sec in a solo over the 500m course compared to his 28.99sec (normal) seven days earlier.

In further good news for connections, it is understood that the KAB Maiden Derby, for which he is qualified, will take place as planned next month despite reports to the contrary published in some quarters.

Hennessy's other trials were Boylesports Blue (29.30sec), Hello Diego (29.43sec) and Barefoot On Fire (29.53sec).
