Paul Nicholls doesn't run many over the summer but those that do make it to the track usually pay their way and DORMELLO MO (NAP) is likely to be no exception. He'll have to improve on a half-length defeat of Union Saint over 2m here to beat recent course and distance winner Sporting Boy but that was his fencing bow so there should be plenty more to come. Both of My Legal Lady's wins over hurdles came on this course but she's tackling the larger obstacles for the first time at the age of 10 and it's hard to fancy either Fuzzy Logic or Veauce De Sivola on these terms.
