PULL GREEN impressed in winning here last time out and he can defy a penalty to follow up with a victory in this competitive looking novices' hurdle. Donald McCain's charge can confirm form with Quoteline Direct who finished runner-up to the selection when the pair met here in November. Third place can go the way of Joseph Hobson who is making his hurdling debut.
