QUEEN OF BURGUNDY beat Crown Power at Wolverhampton last month and made all again to score over track and trip a fortnight ago. She’ll likely get her own way on the lead once again in this and will take some pegging back if doing so. Adelita hasn’t raced since finishing second at Newmarket last summer but has every chance if ready for action while Canoodled won over 7f at HQ in October though yet to win on the all-weather.
