FRUIT FAYRE is improving and, though these fences will pose a big test for Sheila Crow's six-year-old, she is fancied to get round and land this. Popaway also has plenty of scope while the experience of recent Exeter scorer Lucette Annie and Mid Div And Creep will stand them in good stead, though age may be catching up with the latter. Fellow veteran Chesnut Annie looks the pick of the remainder.
