Numerically the three year-olds hold a strong hand but that has often been the case in recent years and they've only been responsible for one winner. So, no matter how interesting the likes of Surprise Party and Rock Art are, there could be some value to be had in siding with BOOKIEBASHER BABE. The Mighty Quinn has been a profitable man to follow at Yarmouth over the years and this filly certainly looks capable of rewarding each-way support at the very least. She's yet to win a race on turf but has made the frame on both occasions that she's encountered soft ground, including when bumping into a well handicapped winner at Newmarket on Friday. If the rain gets into the ground then she looks sure to go close. Kassuta won a claimer here and produced one of her better efforts last time whilst a case can be made for Astrodonna and Broughtons Silk is unexposed. Rock Art and Surprise Party have both done enough to make them of interest as has Turkish Lokum who comes here on the back of a career best. Polemica and Novastasia have plenty to prove on the book but are subject of interesting jockey bookings so are worth noting but a blow for punters can be struck by Bookiebasher Babe.
