The two 5-y-o mares, ASK ME ANOTHER and Don't Tell Rosie, appear to possess the greatest potential and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter appears to have been gradually brought along with handicaps very much in mind and she is of strong interest now pitched into one off what looks a fair opening mark. However, she may find Ask Me Another too hot to handle following that rival's good reappearance/handicap debut second at Huntingdon. Holeshot is best of the rest.
