ALEXANDRA LAROSE was well clear of the third when narrowly denied on her Leicester handicap debut last month and is taken to go one better now. Love True had yet to be asked for her effort when coming down 2 out at Catterick last time and is a possible threat if none the worse, while Queen of Steel has been the subject of an interesting trainer change and also merits respect.
