Verdict
This looks a good opportunity for RINGA DING DING to open his account. Paul Nicholls’ charge has placed in both starts over timber including a second at Wincanton last time and has the beating of the likes of Shillingsworth and Roll Of The Dice at the weights. The former looks the main danger in this though Delirious Love ran well for a long way over 2m4f at Southwell and could go well with the remainder hard to recommend.
