In depth
Verdict
Inchdura has proved a most consistent and genuine performer this term and has run with credit in defeat since recording victory over this trip at Newbury last month. Roger Charlton's gelding is 6lb higher but can confirm recent Chester placings with Millennium Force on the revised terms but may struggle to contain Serieux. The three-year-old looked a progressive type earlier in the season when making most of the running to score over 7f at York in May and was far from disgraced off today's 7lb higher mark when fourth in a valuable event at Haydock in May. The son of Cadeaux Genereux is lightly raced and therefore capable of further progress so this front runner make take some stopping from a favourable draw. Duke Of Modena has gone off the boil of late while Historic Treble is not the most consistent and looks worth opposing.
