Verdict
Ruby Walsh's presence on board French import WORKBENCH is enough to suggest he's held in some regard at Ditcheat. A half-brother to winners over hurdles and fences, Paul Nicholls' gelding can make a successful debut despite the presence of several who have already shown promise on the track. House Party only found one too good when well backed on his debut at Newcastle, while Dalavar was runner-up in a big field at Warwick in November. My Inheritance won at Ffos Las but could struggle under a penalty and Jonjo O'Neill's newcomer Wild West may be a better long-term prospect.
