In depth
Verdict
Pull Again Green is penalised for winning at Wexford in March for previous connections. Larusso has placed twice at Stratford but never looked like winning on either occasion. By Mahler out of a Presenting mare, ABUFFALOSOLDIER is very much an eye-catcher on pedigree so gets a tentative vote ahead of the former pointers Dream In The Park and Tango Pete and the Skelton runner Steal My Sunshine, who is a half-brother to a winning hurdler.
