Three Moons has been ruled out of the Investec Oaks at Epsom on Friday after suffering a setback.

ANTE-POST favourite Rainbow View stepped up her preparations for the stanjames.com 1000 Guineas when working on the Rowley Mile racecourse in Newmarket yesterday morning.

It was slightly harder work than perhaps expected, but Rainbow View still reinforced her position at the head of the market for the 1000 Guineas with a high-class performance in the Meon Valley Stud Fillies’ Mile.

Jimmy Fortune admits connections are still unsure how good Rainbow View could turn out to be as she bids to maintain her unbeaten record in Saturday’s Meon Valley Stud Fillies’ Mile at Ascot.
