Ask Me What was just ridden out to win on her British debut at Folkestone, and looks the sort to defy a penalty here. Venetia Williams is not one to keep a horse at this grade longer than necessary, and she looks the one to beat here. Miniature Rose showed up well on her debut in a decent race at Newbury, but that was over a shorter trip and this is not certain to suit her. Of the newcomers, Amorello and She's Our Native both mares by Be My Native, hail from stables in a decent record in this sort of contest so any support for them in the betting may be worth noting.
