BLUE LAKOTA (1) was denied a clear run when 1.25L third at Newcastle. Bidding for a hat-trick that day and is clearly progressing. Will have a leading chance. HORUS (5) kicked clear in fine style for a 2L success at Lingfield. Up in weights. Could easily go back to back. PSYCHODRAMA (7) is yet to live up to an expensive price tag. Encountered one when 6L second at Newcastle last time. Likely no rival of that ability running here. Key player. NAD ALSHIBA RAIN (3) failed to build upon a promising debut in two subsequent starts. Now handicapping and might do better. Shortlist.
