Henry Daly will make a decision over Hillcrest's Cheltenham Festival participation in the middle of the coming week.
The seven-year-old, successful in each of his four completed starts over timber - including an eight-length success in the Grade 2 Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock Park last month - is the 4-1 joint-favourite for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle a week on Friday.
But Daly wants to see whether recent tuition to improve Hillcrest's jumping has worked before committing the son of Stowaway to take part.
