Millman's hoping Lyra can be his bright star

ROD Millman’s Lyra Lea can prevail in the Book Your Venue At thetankwal. co.uk Nursery Handicap at Haydock.

- By MOLLY HUNTER

After placing in her first three career starts, she made a breakthrough last time out on the all-weather at Lingfield when a wide-margin winner of a maiden.

Her prior form includes some fair efforts on turf, however, and she looks to have plenty more to offer as even under a 6lb penalty, she is still 3lb well-in.

John Berry has his small string in very good order and his Double Meaning looks capable of also carrying a penalty to victory in the At The Races App Expert Tips Handicap at Lingfield.

A Godolphin castoff, Berry picked him up for 25,000 guineas, and won by 10 lengths on just his third run for him.

The handicapper raised him 11lb but he carries just a 6lb penalty here, which puts the weights firmly in his favour.
