Verdict

Having dropped a long way in the weights following a quiet start for his new yard, HILLSIN showed a lot more when third in a big-field handicap at Exeter a month ago and is now of major interest. Independence made a good start for Dr Newland and is feared most, with Ranco another to consider back from a break.
