Ger Lyons expects his season to start clicking into gear shortly, as he begins to prepare some of his higher profile horses for racecourse action. One that he had hoped to have gotten out at this stage is Endless Drama (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). Lyons originally wanted to get a prep run into the lightly-raced 4-year-old in advance of a tilt at the G1 Lockinge S. at Newbury May 14, but that plan has been altered due to ground conditions and a lack of suitable opportunities.
“The programme isn't helping me out, I wanted to go to the [G3] Gladness S. [Apr. 3], 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.”
Endless Drama only ran three times last year, finishing second on each occasion including when chasing home Gleneagles (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh. Lyons is hoping for a clearer run this year with the Qatari owned colt and added, “He's a massive horse. If I have a genuine group horse in the yard, it's him and I couldn't be happier with him.”
