HOLY ELEANOR never figured in three outings in Ireland but finished much closer on her first start for Archie Watson when fourth at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut. She gets the vote to open her account. Fact Or Fable wasn’t beaten that far when fifth at Wolverhampton last time while Burniston Rocks also has a shout despite returning a losing favourite at Kempton and is preferred to both Rulers Kingdom and Rebel Redemption. Itwouldberudenotto and Barking Mad are worth a second glance now handicapping for the first time with preference for the former.
