Verdict
Most of these have become expensive to follow and this is something of a die-hards only affair. Don't Tell Rosey makes the most appeal after a couple of fair efforts in defeat and he just preferred over the frustrating Naughty Girl and St Austell, who returns to a more realistic level today. However, despite tasting defeat on 12 previous occasions Don't Tell Rosey still has a willing attitude and can dispense with his maiden tag along with any suspicions about being unlucky on this his thirteenth outing.
