The Spring Cup at Newbury holds plenty of clues with regards finding the winner of the 2019 renewal of the Whitsun Cup. GREENSIDE, who has history in this race, finished fourth of 26 to Chatez (today's rival History Writer an encouraging seventh) before readily accounting for Lush Life (third) at Windsor (1m) the following month. A 4lb rise for that River Thames victory means that he has slightly more to do on this occasion, but it's well worth noting that he was also successful off this perch (94) over C&D in June 2017. Therefore, he rates as the rock-solid fancy tonight.
