Observations: Easy Pickings for Golden Lyra at Kempton

6.15 Kempton, Novice, £16,000, 3yo, 11f 219y (AWT)

GOLDEN LYRA (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) has been found a golden opportunity for a confidence boost by William Haggas following her second on her seasonal bow in the Listed Abingdon S. last month. Sunderland Holding's homebred, whose dam is an unraced full-sister to Sea The Moon (Ger), should be able to pick off her opponents with ease unless Kirsten Rausing's Ralph Beckett-trained Allemande (GB), a debutante half-sister to the group 1-placed Albaflora (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) by Sea The Moon himself, is out of the ordinary.
