GREEN OR BLACK (NAP) showed a big improvement on only her second start over hurdles when third in a maiden race at Worcester and finishing clear of the rest. This looks easier and Neil Mulholland’s mare is preferred to the likes of Drinks Interval, Cautorillo and Ginge de Sophia, who have all placed in bumpers without threatening the winner and make their hurdling debuts. The remainder have shown even less so far and are hard to fancy.
