Verdict

HILLCREST confirmed the promise of his bumper debut effort when scoring at Warwck in the spring, finding plenty to lead near the finish despite still looking very raw. A most exciting prospect now his attentions are switched to timber, he gets the nod to come out on top. Tigerbythetail, who shaped promisingly in a Market Rasen bumper in the spring, and No Word Of A Lie are others to consider.

  1. HILLCREST (IRE)

  3. NO WORD OF A LIE
