        Verdict

        Be Fair, Fool On The Hill and Almaydan are three against the field in this beginners chase and the vote goes to Be Fair. The selection was a fair sort over hurdles and he was a fair fourth in a grade 1 event behind Saddler's Wings. That should have put him spot on for this is chasing debut and under conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Fool On The Hill rates the main danger as at least he has experience over the larger obstacles. He was a fair fourth behind Sporazene last time. However on hurdles ratings he has plenty to find with the selection and he is passed over for that reason. Almaydan was also a fair hurdler and is another that will relish conditions so he is another to note in the market. Moonlit Harbour was a fair second behind Mirjan last time over hurdles and is another making his fencing debut but he lacks the scope of the selection. Of there remainder Run Atim looks sure to improve for the switch to fences but he will need to improve significantly to defeat the selection Be Fair.
