As anticipated, LEHAUNSTOWN took a sizeable step forward when runner-up on his handicap debut here three weeks ago and, with further progress likely, he is taken to go one better back in maiden company. Though there's an air of vulnerability about Folly Beach, she has serious each-way prospects here judged on several pieces of form and she is feared most ahead of Miss Mini Bee.
