    Verdict

    HOLLOWS MILL, Safari Adventures and The Rocking Dock catch the eye here, with Hollows Mill, an emphatic scorer last time, getting the vote. The Rocking Dock has not won for a year, but he showed real signs of a return to form over this course and distance last time, chasing home a good winner. A similar performance here can see him in the shake up. Safari Adventures has been knocking on the door with placed efforts at Plumpton and Towcester recently. He deserves to land a win soon, but would prefer more cut in the ground. Hollows Mill is 7lbs higher than when landing a similar event at Kelso last time. The manner of victory that day was impressive, and he was not winning out of turn. He is on the upgrade, and Hollows Mill can follow up here.
