Eleanorofaquitaine has decent form in bumpers but she’s been a bit of a disappointment in her two runs to date over hurdles. On The Quiet won a Ffos Las bumper but was well beaten at that track on her first run over timber whereas QUIVVY LOUGH made a satisfactory debut under Rules when staying on into second at Uttoxeter. This drop in trip is a slight worry for the former pointer but she should have the pace to cope. Newton Abbot third Cut And Run is preferred to the once-raced Perfectly Honest of the remainder.
