RINGMOYLAN put in a good performance when finishing runner-up on his hurdling debut back in July and he can go one better tackling this trip for the first time today. The selection finished runner-up on two of his four point-to-point starts and can get the better of the penalised Nemean Lion who was just touched off at Sedgefield last time out while Stick To The Plan, a winner in handicap company last time can take third.
