MILL GREEN (NAP) concedes weight all round but this looks an easier task for the Henderson gelding than when getting off the mark over timber at Fontwell on his hurdling debut. On that occasion he proved far too slick for the more experienced Irish raider, Torcello, and looks a useful summer prospect for the champion trainer. Winning pointer MInella Mojo didn't shape too badly at all when fourth on hurdling debut but will need a major jolt of improvement to trouble the selection whilst Bubble O'Clock is surely better than he's shown to date on three starts for Paul Nicholls. Last Watch should have improvement to come but it's hard to see her proving good enough.
