Without a win since 2016, GREEN DOOR looks the one to beat in a weak seller. Clear of today’s opposition at the weights, Bob Cowell’s charge was runner-up over course and distance last time and is taken to go one better in this company. Sylvia's Mother and Sir Hector share the same handicap rating though both arrive out of form with the latter having the edge on today’s terms while Staffa looks best of the rest despite returning from a lay-off.
