Got back on the scoresheet when beating a clear second at Aintree; big player again up 4lb

Five-time chase winner but he fell on reappearance and still has stamina to prove at 3m
3	Hillcrest Brown J:David Bass T:Henry Daly	J:David Bass T:Henry Daly	162	—	/4PU3-	130	140	108	272d	—	—	+11	25.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Yet to shine over fences but he's still unexposed in this sphere and is on a reduced mark

Well treated on old chase form in Ireland and he needs watching in market on stable debut

On dangerous mark but he returns after 11 months off and others are preferred
