In depth
Verdict
Inchnadamph can beat Pont Neuf, Isa'af and Hearthstead Dream in a very trappy finale. Punters may well be shell-shocked by the time this last race comes around and it is certainly no easy getting-out stakes. It would though be poignant if Inchnadamph were to bring the curtain down on proceedings as he is trained by Tim Fitzgerald whose father Jimmy sadly passed away earlier this week. Inchnadamph should appreciate the step up in trip after chasing home Jack Of Trumps here in July and makes more appeal than most. Pont Neuf is another that may benefit from the step up in trip but the ground could be too lively, while Isa'af ran a blinder at Goodwood and this slight drop in distance should be in his favour. Hearthstead Dream is consistent but might struggle against older opposition, and Perfect Punch looks a shade too high in the weights at present. Keep your bets small here, and go for Inchnadamph.
