Moment Of Light expected to shine on step up in trip

It will take a good one to beat Moment Of Light in the Unibet/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Kempton.

James Owen's youngster made an encouraging debut at Chester when beaten only by an Andrew Balding-trained newcomer, looking a surefire future winner.

That was over seven and a half furlongs, on quick ground on a tight, turning track so you would imagine the step up to a mile on the all-weather with a long straight will suit this son of Sea The Moon.

Owen's dual-purpose string remain in great form and this 78,000 guineas breeze-up purchase holds an entry in the Royal Lodge so he will have to be winning this if he is to take that up.
