Hennessy will claim 3kg in the Benchmark 72 Handicap (2200m) at Warwick Farm as the four-year-old steps up to metropolitan grade for the first time.
The Irish native has developed a superb partnership with the Olive stayer, riding him to three wins in his last four starts either side of a spell. That included a Bathurst Cup triumph last month.
Hennessy rode 35 winners last season, striking at almost 10 per cent.
