Anton Dolin is a bit of an enigma but he’s more than capable of figuring in a race like this if in the mood. Frozen Over favours sharp tracks and won at Taunton in April. Towcester second Cillian's Well may find this an insufficient test of stamina, however, while Chantecler just hasn’t taken to jumping. Alys Rock has only won at Sedgefield so far so this can go to the four-year-old TOP OF THE ROCKS. Though behind Frozen Over at Taunton, he produced a much better effort over this trip at Newton Abbot and is improving.
