Greenwood has been in good form of late but has to be considered a doubtful runner having been in action again at Windsor on Monday night so preference is for Effective, who gets the vote ahead of Mr Cellophane. The last mentioned has run creditably off similar marks to today's in his last two starts and is fully entitled to be thereabouts again so has to be respected. Jamie Osborne's Morse has struggled against the handicapper since winning here in December and may be booked for a place at best, while Sir Douglas may have too much weight. Dvinsky is a consistent performer and has to be respected but preference is for Effective who has done little wrong of late and he looks worth another chance.
