Albert Bartlett Prestige Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race)
3m 58y
Going: Heavy
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneIt was too early to say if HILLCREST would have won when hampered and unseating at Cheltenham last month but assuming he is none the worse for that mishap, he could get his campaign back on track here. The Henry Daly-trained seven-year-old has shaped like this trip would bring out even more improvement and he can take this before heading to back Cheltenham for the Festival. Crystal Glory was behind Rafferty's Return last time out and that rival has won again since, so he makes the shortlist along with recent Sandown winner Green Book.
