Grand Inquisitor was a close-up second behind a subsequent winner at Wincanton and almost nine lengths ahead of Le Ligerien. Any further improvement would make him tough to beat but preference is for KINGOFTHECOTSWOLDS, who chased home a smart novice at Huntingdon on just his second start over timber. I'm A Believer was too keen over 2m4f at Huntingdon but was a maiden on the Flat and may not have the pace for this. I'd Better Go Now hasn’t show much to date in a couple of runs at Fontwell.
