Dormello Mo was sent off favourite on his UK debut at Exeter but never really threatened to take a hand in the finish. He may need further but Rayak is getting closer to a first success and Carry On Sydney ran well under a penalty at Wincanton. The latter had earlier beaten ASTRUM by eight lengths at Market Rasen but Neil King's charge has every chance of reversing that form on 11lb better terms and the booking of Richard Johnson is a positive sign.
