Chepstow fourth Dormello Mo may enjoy a fitness advantage over his rivals but was disappointing on his reappearance at Chepstow. LEVIATHAN has conditions in his favour as he won at Haydock and Stratford last season when there was plenty of give in the ground. Venetia Williams' charge can take this ahead of the once-raced Baby King and Serienschock, who is better over further. Goohar still has some scope and is worth noting for future reference, whatever happens today.
