Verdict
Moonlit Cloud arrives in good form and Meleri is only 4lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago. Ragosina has found only one too good over this trip the last twice but Folk Star took a step forward over 1m4f at Thirsk. Flash Bardot wasn’t beaten far on her Turf debut at Beverley in April but this longer trip could help SWING TO THE STARS break her duck with the booking of William Buick a positive.
