Verdict
The consistent Greensalt has only one blip on his record, when tried over fences in November. But he will probably have to settle for a place again behind BIG JIM. The latter split a couple of previous winners at Warwick last month when a 50/1 chance and any improvement on that will make him tough to beat. Horsehill, Mor Brook and Peggy Do are all likely to do better over fences while it's asking a lot of 13-year-old Desert Nova to start winning at this stage of his career.
