Atalis Bay won a maiden at Windsor with plenty to spare but Leicester maiden winner Sadiqaa disappointed under a penalty at Newmarket last time. Fast Start finished last of seven in a novices' race at Yarmouth recently but MONZA CITY went close in a handicap over today’s trip at Leicester last week and Mark Johnston’s filly may well be good enough racing off the same mark today.
