The Hollinwell has shown enough in his previous races to suggest that he can score here at the expense of Time To Panic and Run Forest Run. The selection has improved with each run to date and caught the eye at Carlisle when third of nineteen. This track would ride similar to Carlisle and its obvious that stamina is his forte. His form looks rock solid and if running up to his best then he should end up in the winners enclosure. Time To Panic has run with credit in both his races. He was third of nine in a moderate bumper at Bangor on his debut and again ran well when fifth of twelve at Exeter last time. With more improvement to come he should be noted. As should Run Forest Run who is ridden by Tony McCoy and ran well enough at Newcastle on only his second run so is respected. But for the winner we return to The Hollinwell.
