Verdict
Nkosikazi goes for the hat-trick after victories at Redcar and Newcastle last month. She landed a Group 3 last time but that has earned her an 8lb rise in the weights, though she is still preferred to returning stablemate Ghaziyah. Dean Street Doll is interesting with her yard in cracking form. She was back to her best at Sandown earlier in the month and is 5lb better off with winner Be More for a couple of lengths. Waliyak and Chamade can’t be ignored but LAKE LUCERNE ran better than the final result suggests on her Turf debut at York and she should have plenty more to offer after just three runs.
