Silca's Dream went close again at Warwick last week but still carries a penalty for his earlier win at Wolverhampton. Nafa beat Haadeeth at Lingfield before completing a hat-trick at the same track when dead-heating for first with Pucon. Another bold bid is expected from her but STEEL RAIN makes more appeal. Only a short-head separated him and Griffin Point at Chepstow a week ago but that was the former's first run since April and he can defy a penalty with improvement anticipated.
