Default Dropped my oil cap - best way to get it out??

I'm a spaz - I dropped my oil cap in the gap between the dipstick holder and the expansion tank for the rad - the little bugger has scampered off under the engine - my arms are too thick to get in the same hole and get it out so what's the best way to retrieve it - would taking the undertray out be the easiest option - this happened in the dark so until it's light again I can't have a proper poke around underneath

thanks for helping a spaz out
