The John Nicholson yard is yet to get off the mark in Ireland this season but the improving NORA BATT can build on her win at Musselburgh on Tuesday and land the spoils on her third start this month. Blastofmagic has been a consistent sort of late and can give the selection plenty to think about in this contest along with Haqeeba who can hit the frame.
