In depth
Verdict
Djingle has been gradually finding his feet over fences, placing at Wexford and Tipperary this summer. Francky Du Berlais finished second over a longer trip here on his fencing bow but was then only fourth when favourite for a novices’ handicap at Market Rasen, though that form is working out better than expected. TONTO’S SPIRIT jumped well when making all over course and distance in May. He’s only raced over fences once since, just coming up short behind a prolific winner at Perth, and can defy his penalty with Grade 3-winning hurdler Garo De Juilley making his debut over fences and having a first run since March.
