Another modest hunter chase and Be Fair should be good enough to land the spoils, Caveman and Cantarinho look to be the main rivals. We will get a good guide to the selection's chances with Plutocrat in today's earlier contest as he finshed third behind that rival last time out. That was his first outing for some time and improvement can be expected. Caveman won a maiden chase at Towcester last summer and this recent point to point winner could prove a tough nut to crack. Cantarhino has shown little in two runs this year but they were in better company and he could run well today at a decent price. The best of the rest could be Bob Justice but our idea of the winner is Be Fair.
