CITY SELECTIONS QUEEN OF BURGUNDY was the subject of market support when finishing third over course and distance last time, producing her best effort for this yard in the process, and the daughter of Lethal Force is tipped to register her third career win. Global Acclamation got off the mark for this stable when scoring at Lingfield on his latest start, holding on from the reopposing Sovereign Moon, and those two look best placed to fight it out for the minor honours.

PLAY SMARTER An open low-grade affair to kick the card off and SOVEREIGN MOON holds most appeal. She’s been acquitting herself without winning all summer and deserves to get her head in front. Global Acclamation is feared following his Lingfield success. Queen of Burgundy also holds each-way claims.
