Verdict
Anton Dolin is an interesting one for the Newland team which has struck with their last four runners. This dual course and distance winner, his sole career successes over timber, only weakened late on here last time on his first start for eight months, for which he'll be all the better. There was no market support whatsoever for him last time but it could well be a different story on this occasion and he's well worth a saver. Chill Factor is interesting after an absence and just four starts over hurdles. He represents a shrewd yard, is on a tempting mark and sports first-time blinkers, Bedouin Bay and Tenby Jewel are both respected on the back of last-time wins but EDMAAJ may well prove too good for this field despite joint topweight. The feeling persists he can still improve on efforts to date, especially over the extra half-mile he faces here and he already has some perfectly solid form in the book too in the context of this race.
