Verdict
Recent form figures are not inspiring with Hollow Ron the only exception after a couple of respectable efforts following a break. He's also a possible improver after just five starts over timber and receives weight all round in a moderate contest. He's yet to tackle this trip but is well respected. Another Brown Bear and For Jim both pulled up the last twice so confidence regarding their chance is low, likewise Absolutely Dylan, beaten 30 lengths or more on his last four runs. Millie Of Mayo was tailed off in February returning from a break and Merveillo is plummeting down the handicap after a sequence of disappointing runs. Therefore DROP HIM IN is a hopeful choice as he'll appreciate going back up in trip, scored over fences in March and should not prove inconvenienced by the return to timber.
