      Verdict

      WELSH MOONLIGHT was only beaten half-a-length over track and trip on her latest start. She might have won had she got going a bit earlier and, as the winner has franked the form since, Stuart Williams' lightly-raced filly should have too much for these. Megaleka was placed again at Wolverhampton on Monday but has become expensive to follow while Two No Bids has gone backwards since winning a Wolverhampton maiden in March. The remainder all have some improving to do.
