Verdict
A chance is taken that SADIE BABES handles the surface having finished runner-up at Lingfield last month. She has every chance on today's terms against these older horses. Very First Blade may prove best of those having won over track and trip at the start of the year and has the beating of Coiste Bodhar though the latter was engaged in the 3.15 here yesterday. Camanche Grey and Hello Beautiful have something to find at the weights and the latter is also having her first start since June.
