QUEEN OF IPANEMA may carry a double penalty having landed a hat-trick with last week’s Chelmsford victory but she’s due to be raised by 2lb more in the future.

Percy Willis went close at Wolverhampton recently while Captain Haddock returns to the all-weather having placed at Newbury. Ebony Maw and Cappoquin are others capable of getting involved.
