Hells Babe is scheduled to make a quick reappearance after running in a Listed race at Musselburgh on Saturday. Unforgetable Filly was due to run in that contest but was a late withdrawal. Hugo Palmer’s filly was in terrific form around this time last year but finished last in her last two starts of 2017 and hasn’t raced since October. Di Fede has only won on Polytrack so far but she ran a cracker on her reappearance in a handicap at Ascot while She Believes rattled up a hat-trick last summer and boasted a decent level of form overall. SHEIKHA REIKA (NAP) only won a maiden at Newmarket but the drop back to 7f clearly suited the daughter of Shamardal. The form has been franked and Roger Varian’s charge can probably go on to better things.
