Verdict
Hillcrest has won all three starts since beaten by WISEGUY in a bumper here in January and Nicky Henderson’s five-year-old looked ready for a step up in trip when third at Fontwell. Dash Full Of Cash will definitely stay having run second in a point in April and City Limits was third over 2m7f in a maiden at Thurles last month but Amenon has only raced on soft ground or worse so far.
