FORMULA
a(n) = A292898(3, n).
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 05 2018: (Start)
Recurrence: (5*n^2 - 6*n + 4)*a(n) = (5*n^3 - n^2 - 6*n + 9)*a(n-1) + (n-1)*(5*n^2 + 4*n + 3)*a(n-2).
a(n) ~ 5*sqrt(Pi/2) * n^(n + 5/2) / exp(n+1). (End)
MAPLE
A292897 := n -> -add((-1)^(n-k)*hypergeom([k, k-n-3], [], 1), k=1..3):
