In depth
Verdict
RINGA DING DING's dam was a useful bumper winner and his breeding suggests he won't be short of pace. The Nicholls newcomer can make a winning debut at the chief expense of Worcester runner-up Hattaab, who may need further. Represented has a decent jumping pedigree and is another debutant to monitor for market support while Court Out's third at Newton Abbot is working out, though he was beaten 19 lengths.
