CITY SELECTIONS QUEEN OF IPANEMA arrives here seeking a hat-trick after successive wins at Wolverhampton and she is capable of imposing her authority on this field. George Boughey’s runner must carry a 6lb penalty for her latest success and while that will give her something extra to think about, it doesn’t appear likely to be an insurmountable task. Curley Rose also won last time at Wolverhampton and she is likely to pose the biggest threat, while Overstate completes the shortlist. QUEEN OF IPANEMA
