        Verdict

        A first-time visor may help My Sara to come good at the expense of Priceless Melody, Xalted and Homecroft Boy to name but three. This is a very poor handicap, with winning form thin on the ground to say the least, so only a modest vote goes to My Sara who will be having just her fifth career outing, and only her second for the Richard Fahey yard. All the better for her return from a six-month break at Wolverhampton 16-days ago, this half-sister to six winners may have the scope to do better, and hopefully the aid will sharpen her up as well. Priceless Melody only beat one home at Kempton last time and needs to show a lot more zip, while Xalted returns from a break. Any support in the market for the latter should obviously be heeded, as it should for the remainder here, including Pieterson who showed a glimmer of promise on the odd occasion last year. A truly moderate affair can go to My Sara.
