Preview: Green at the double but Puppy Oaks eyes are on Simone

BELINDA GREEN took training honours in the first round of the bet365 English Puppy Oaks over 450m at Oxford with a bookend heat double courtesy of fastest duo Bonus Bullet and Bikini Bullet in addition to qualifying Beaming Carly and Bombshell Bullet for the semi-finals.

However, the talking point for many afterwards was the performance in defeat of Kevin Hutton's Dunquin Simone, who is yet to win in four career starts but looks an accident waiting to happen and has already been well-supported for her semi-final on Sunday.
