Plug In Baby and Saqil were well beaten and subsequent Ludlow third Easydoesit pulled up in Guards Chapel's race at Wincanton last month. Gary Moore's stable is going well and there seems no reason why any of that trio should reverse the form, especially with Joshua Moore claiming 5lb off the latter. But we'll take on the top weight with HIGH SAMANA, who is going to be a lot better over hurdles than on the Flat judged by the way he pressed the more experienced Alfraamsey all the way to the line at Kempton.
