In depth
Verdict
Be Fair looks the one to be on he won well despite running green on his debut and he will be hard to beat under these similar conditions despite his penalty. Springfield Gilda ran well on her last start last season when second at Market Rasen but that was with cut in the ground and this faster ground may be against her. Amathus is from a top yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market. Toulon D'or is also from a top yard and he looked as if he would improve for a longer trip
