In depth

Verdict

Inch High, Mystical Ayr and Fiddlers Creek look the three to concentrate on in the finale with the vote given to Inch High. The selection has found it difficult to get his head in front but he won impressively here last time and he should be up to defying a penalty with the ground in his favour. Mystical Ayr rates the main danger as he also enjoys cut in the ground and he does have a pull in the weights with our selection after chasing him home last time out. Fiddlers Creek is back on the level after a spell over hurdles and he did win over the obstacles when last seen out. But he is probably better over further than this and we are happy to take him on. Tequila Shelia is from an in-form yard and is another with place claims, but Inch High has plenty in his favour and gets the vote.
