Forecasts

Potters Midnight (9/4), She's Gina (11/4), Shufoog (3/1), Green Or Black (9/2), Cubswin (5/1), Stepover (11/2), Included (12/1), Ambre Des Marais (14/1), Ginger Fizz (14/1)

GREEN OR BLACK was in good form when last in action over hurdles back in the autumn and she can take this mares only contest having had a prep run on the Flat recently. Neil Mulholland's charge has run well on good ground in teh past and can take this with Stepover, a winner last time out at Hereford capable of seeing off Cubswin, an early casualty through no fault of her own at Huntingdon last time.
