Broke his maiden when winning on debut over 1m2f at Newcastle in November. Given a break since and strong claims for a stable with a 38% strike-rate (10/26) in recent weeks.
Well beaten in two 1m contests at Kempton this winter. Most recent came when beaten 12L in a maiden in January and he is probably best watched tackling this trip for the first time.
Slowly away when finishing 13L last of six over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton on debut a month ago. Others hold stronger claims on his first start over this distance.
Unraced son of Sea The Moon bought for 80,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a number of winners including the useful Strictly Silver and represents good connections on racecourse debut.
Fair efforts in a couple of novice races so far including when last of seven over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time out. Needs to improve to take this contest however.
Forecasts
Moonlight Spirit (2/11), Thelonious (11/4), Fly Lightly (16/1), Hen (40/1), Golden Grenade (66/1)
MOONLIGHT SPIRIT is taken to defy a penalty to maintain his unbeaten record in this five runner 1m2f novice contest. The selection represents leading connections and can see off his rivals with the unraced Thelonious the most likely to chase him home. Third place can go the way of Hen who has shown signs of ability in two starts so far.
