In depth
Verdict
The five-year-old MOONLIT CLOUD is more exposed than most but her latest run at Newmarket was too bad to be true and conditions won’t be an issue as she won over course and distance on heavy ground on her reappearance. Joe Bradnam has ridden Miss Harmony several times and Michael Bell’s mare was just beaten on soft going over track and trip two runs ago. Warren Hill has been getting closer and is another proven around here but this may be too far for Gentle Light on the ground with Storm Valley a bigger danger. Mountain Lake is visored after a narrow defeat at Bath and has improved with every run so can’t be ignored.
