MOON FLIGHT is a frustrating sort having placed on numerous occasions but drops back down in trip weighted to beat the likes of Kanohi Breeze and Kaidu. The latter may do better back over the minimum trip today with cheekpieces applied while Royal Agent went close on last year’s debut. Embroidered Cloth is fitted with a hood and Silveeanna has switched yards.
