PULL AGAIN GREEN beat three subsequent winners over course and distance in December before failing to settle when stepped up to Listed company at Cheltenham. If he proves more amenable to restraint today, this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Nico de Boinville partners course winner Kincardine having ridden Blue Stello to victory at Warwick so it’s probably same to assume the former is the Henderson stable pick. Parisienne Gold went close on her hurdling bow at Huntingdon but, like Rebel Intentions, will need to improve to trouble the previous winners.
Kincardine 4-6fav (11-6) Made all, not fluent 4th, clear from 3 out, ridden run-in, stayed on strongly, unchallenged, won at Newbury 2m mdn (4) sft in Feb beating Super Duper Sam (11-6) by 4 1/2l, 10 ran.
