Verdict

HILLCREST has to concede weight all round to some promising types, but there was a lot to like about the way he saw off the challenge of the favourite from the last over C&D last time and can maintain his unbeaten record over hurdles. Balco Coastal is another exciting novice hurdler for Nicky Henderson and is considered the main threat, ahead of A Different Kind.
