Verdict

Hilltop Supreme reverted to hurdles to gain the first victory of his career at Fairyhouse last month and is 10lb higher over fences. I'll Be That Lady was beaten a nose at Naas in November and started favourite at Navan next time but ran very poorly. She'll need to bounce back but IT'S ONLY A NUMBER can recoup losses sustained at Punchestown. The eight-year-old is 0-18 but has been running well enough at a similar level to suggest he can finally get off the mark in a poor contest. The veteran Wee Small Hours finished just in front of him at Punchestown but is on a very long losing run.
