Beaten narrowly at 73-20 here over 6f last month (form has been franked); off a higher mark but running in a handicap for only the second time; if stepping up from most recent effort must be in the mix

LAGERTHA is the recommendation. She has seen the form of her latest run well advertised. Ice Eater is likely to be popular with punters.
