Drama to head straight for Lockinge Ger Lyons is resigned to the fact Endless Drama will be making his seasonal debut in the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury. Lyons did declare the giant four-year-old for the Gladness Stakes recently but heavy ground prevented him from running there. With no more suitable races in Ireland, last year's Irish Guineas runner-up will head straight for the Group One on May 14 without the aid of a prep run. "That's the plan at the moment," Lyons told At The Races. "The programme isn't helping me out, I wanted to go to the Gladness but because of the ground I wasn't going to do that. "Between now and the Lockinge there is no prep race for us, so we are just going to have to get our finger out and do the job at home the best we can. "At the minute that's the plan and I couldn't be happier with him. "He's a massive horse. If I have a genuine Group horse in the yard, it's him."
