Rare that a meeting around this track passes by with a runner from this stable doing well but this one has shown very little so far. Better ground may help but he will need to show more than he has so far.

Shaped well on the AW last time out over 1m4f and makes his hurdles debut now after two previous runs in bumpers (both unplaced) in 2015.

Has shown better form since being switched to hurdles from bumpers. Had the run of things on both hurdles outings and would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead here.

Useful sort on the Flat and made a very promising start over hurdles at Kempton Park. Held-up in that race and maybe not fully settled but that run alone would set a good standard in this contest.

Well held in her only start his only start in bumpers and has failed to make any impression over hurdles.

50/1
Makes her hurdles debut now after a break but has shaped as though she will need a far stiffer test of stamina than she will get in this.

40/1
Poor maiden on the Flat (0/12) and has fared very poorly of late in that discipline. Makes her hurdles debut but would need to show plenty of improvement to take a hand.

Forecasts

Ruwasi (8/13), Little Chunk (13/8), Legal Ok (11/2), Hope You Dance (16/1), Jackblack (25/1), Gentleman's Dream (33/1), Sixties Idol (40/1), Bit Spicy (50/1), Secret Sting (200/1)

Verdict

The Gary Moore stable are always to be respected at Plumpton and they have a leading candidate in RUWASI who shaped well on his hurdles debut at Kempton Park recently. Legal OK needs to settle better in his races but if he does he will be effective at this level. Little Chunk looks to be the other one with a significant chance but even at this level would need to improve a little on what he has shown so far.
