Several form lines in this point to the chances of ANTON DOLIN, who had Watt Broderick and Polstar behind when third at Market Rasen and had earlier finished ahead of Nafaath at Bangor. Mount Vesuvius got nowhere near easy winner Grams And Ounces when second at Stratford and it's two years since he was last in the winner's enclosure but Mandy's Boy continues to tumble down the weights and wasn't entirely disgraced in a better race than this last time at Fontwell. Yul Finegold has been in decent form the Flat lately and could go well if translating those efforts to hurdling.
