Dormello Mo has already won three times over fences and his stable won this in 2013. The better ground will suit after he was beaten last time at Newton Abbot but we prefer chasing newcomer QEWY. He doesn't really have a jumping pedigree but took well to hurdles last season, finishing fifth to Douvan in the Supreme Novices' here in March, and could be one to follow. Rock The World won a Grade 3 at Galway last month and soft ground and a longer trip were legitimate excuses next time at Listowel. He shouldn't be far away but Sizing Codelco has more on his plate than when landing the odds in an eventful beginners' chase at Listowel.
