Verdict
Greensalt has a 5-10 strike-rate between the flags but is yet to land a first success under Rules. However, he has been highly tried on occasions in the hunter chase arena, notably when a respectable seventh last time in the Aintree Foxhunters and when an excellent third behind Balnaslow in the same contest last year - he should go close for this drop in grade. Llancillo Lord did really well when overcoming mistakes to land a small-field hunter chase at Fakenham last month and is a likely contender but HARDROCK DAVIS (NAP) was still travelling really well when unfortunately brought down here latest and this in-form pointer is taken to make amends over this shorter trip.
