Verdict
Eleanor Bob, a 50/1 chance when well beaten on her hurdling debut at Ludlow last month, was well supported on heavy going at Leicester three weeks later and made all for a comfortable success. She'll take some catching here but dual bumper winner MISTY WHISKY ran very well behind previous winner Deputy's Oscar at Market Rasen despite several sticky jumps and the experience can see her go one better. Feuille De Chene won two bumpers in France and was beaten narrowly in a Grade 3. She didn't show much on her debut over timber at Ludlow but that was her first start for a year. Jonjo O'Neill's yard is in top form and Notawordofalie is better than she showed over the track and trip last time.
