Lots with chances in a very open handicap but HILLTOP SUPREME is thriving since switched back to hurdles and is taken to rack up win number four of 2021 after showing himself to be better than ever with his recent Clonmel victory. In-form Fierami rates a big threat though, with handicap-debutant Cregane Ned and Shes Some Doll two others who need considering.
