Hillcrest lands listed honours in Cheltenham opener

Hillcrest and Richard Patrick (white cap) winning The Baltimore Novices’ Hurdle from I Am Maximus

Hillcrest made just about all the running to remain unbeaten this season in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle - the first race at Cheltenham in 2022.

Trained by Henry Daly, the seven-year-old lacks nothing in size and clearly has his fair share of ability as well.
