In depth
Verdict
Three of these won their latest outings though it was good going when Hunny Moon scored at Market Rasen while Whatsdastory won on a faster surface at Taunton and steps up in trip. But ELEANOR BOB opened her account over fences with a victory over today’s distance on soft ground at Chepstow and may prove the one to side with given Shane Quinlan’s allowance negates most of a 7lb rise. Timeless Beauty finished in front of Miss Jeanne Moon when runner-up at Southwell earlier though has been well beaten since.
