Horse A-Z
Price decreased from foal to yearling and the dam was of little account although she was a half-sister to the smart 1m2f winner Mac Love. One of three runners from this yard and the market may well be needed to sort them out.

11/8
Still a maiden after eight tries he's starting to look exposed despite some good effort in maidens and handicaps. Might not have much improvement to come but given the level of form shown by his opponents he may not have to.

33/1
One of two runners from this yard and both are likely to start at big prices. This one hasn't anything of late in lowly handicaps and others have more chance.

One of a trio of runners from this yard with just two runs to his name both over shorter trips. Needs this run for a mark and will be more effective in low grade handicaps once he gains that.

7/2
Hardly has the most solid of profiles having been beaten on five starts now although he did show more stepped up to 7f last time out at Musselburgh. His mark of 73 looks an artificial one but this doesn't look to onerous.

Second of the runners from this yard and like his stablemate could only be given an outside chance here given what she has shown so far.

10/1
One of a duo making their debuts here but from a yard that have having a real golden spell at the moment. She's a half-sister to three winners and given the form of the stable in a weak race she is worth a check in the market.

Undiscovered Angel15
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Jordan Vaughan(3)| T: K R Burke| OR:  73
5/2
Placed on all for starts so far she ran her best race last time out when travelling well into the race until done for a bit of toe late on at Musselburgh (speed favouring track). Could probably do with stepping up to a mile but the stiff finish here may compensate and she may be the one to offer some value here.

Forecasts

Navarone (11/8), Undiscovered Angel (5/2), Valentino Boy (7/2), Silken Moonlight (10/1), Seebring (16/1), Dragons Thunder (20/1), Pontecarlo Boy (33/1), Orientelle (66/1)

Verdict

Not the greatest contest to start the card with some disappointing types at the head of the market who have had enough chances to break their maiden with Navarone and Valentino Boy the two who fit that description best. That may leave UNDISCOVERED ANGEL as the best option here with the testing finish looking to be in her favour. Most of the others would struggle to be competitive here although Silken Moon is worth keeping an eye on in the market with her stable in cracking form of late.
  1. Undiscovered Angel
  2. Valentino Boy
  3. Navarone
