Although not always that fluent over fences it might be worth chancing CAST CADA in this Beginners' Chase with Haar and Mont Present looking the dangers. Smart over timber the pick has yet to reach those heights since switching to the bigger obstacles. He has shown flashes that suggest he will win in this sphere and on these terms we give him another chance. Haar doesn't have to find much on the official ratings and with his run behind Buck Mulligan last time working out well he has to be considered. Mont Present is unexposed and has run some good races behind some decent types and he may be better than his rating suggests while Cadoudalas is consistent and will at least give you a run for your money. Horseshoe Reef is another to enter calculations but his habit of finding just one too good is getting irritating so we turn to the best in on the ratings and Cast Cada.
