Verdict

Most of these seem unlikely winners for one reason or another, so everything seems set for GRAND INQUISITOR to run a very big race on hurdling debut. By Dansili and the first of his dam's nine offspring to go over obstacles he doesn't really seem bred for jumping, but so long as that doesn't prove an issue he looks the class act in the field after winning a nice Flat handicap at York last time out by a wide margin. Dentley De Mee has some good form from bumpers and can build on her hurdling debut last time to be second best, while Pokari also holds claims but needs to overcome an absence.
  1. Grand Inquisitor
  2. Dentley De Mee
