GREENSIDE failed to win in 2018 but as a consequence he is 4lb below his last winning mark and connections were right to expect a big run in the Spring Cup when he finished well to take fourth. He had Masham Star well adrift that day although the Middleham runner should do better with this new mark and better ground. Top Mission went close on his stable debut and he'll be better suited by the stronger pace that seems likely here. Lush Life is highly regarded and would be dangerous if proving as good as connections think, whilst Corazon Espinado is a reliable sort but one who seems less well-handicapped than others.
