Lyra Lea (F) FAV
Just an all-weather maiden win to her name but that could soon change. Arrives here after good runner-up efforts in handicaps at Chepstow (7f, soft) and Salisbury (1m, good). Gets the vote for in-for…

Decalogue (G)
Showed ability on both starts as a juvenile but well held on 7f Kempton reappearance in May. Handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance but it's hard to argue his opening mark looks generous.

Unionville (G)
Dead-heated for new stable in 6f Chelmsford maiden in February but well held in 3 handicaps over that trip since. It remains to be seen whether a step up in trip improves matters.

Won Chester maiden over this trip last July but has yet to build on that success in handicap company this season, beaten 8 lengths when second back at Chester (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago.

Went close in 15-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month. Caught too far back in a steadily-run race when fifth at Ffos Las (7.4f, good to firm) since. There's nothing wrong with t…

Showed definite ability in all-weather starts over 6f/7f last month in April and led until 2f out in 1m Newmarket novice in May. Given a break ahead of this handicap debut. Likely improver.
