Verdict
The headstrong MOON FLIGHT is given a chance over the minimum trip having attempted to make all once again over 7f at Newcastle. He edges this at the weights ahead of Bright, who placed over track and trip early in the year and has subsequently switched yards as has Kaidu. Rooska debuts on the all-weather with a shout but Captain Bentley has plenty to find on these terms.
