There is a question mark hanging over Pippa Greene after he was easily brushed aside by Bullet Man at Huntingdon in August, though fourth Cape Dutch has franked the form since. John Ferguson trains the latter and is also responsible for PERPETUALLY, who was a decent sort on the level and had Bullet Man behind when making a winning debut over timber at Huntingdon. He ran in snatches a little that day but showed a willing attitude and is fancied to follow up here. Yahrab hasn't gone on from a debut success at Market Rasen while it's easy to pick holes in the form of the exposed Rosbay.
