None inspire confidence and Banta Bay finished tailed off here last time having won on the Turf at Lingfield before that. The Fiddler was placed at Wetherby before posting a poor effort at Kempton while ARTIC NEL was expected to do better at Catterick on her latest start. But Ian Williams’ mare recorded her only win so far when landing this contest last year and she gets another chance racing off the same mark today. Foresee won off a higher mark last season but Normandy Blue hasn’t won anywhere yet in 23 attempts.
