Grand Inquisitor should give punters the answer

- ASCOT punters should latch onto GRAND INQUISITOR in the Stella Artois Handicap today.

The Sir Alex Ferguson-owned four-year-old is the only one of his age in a race that can be his for the taking if he turns up on his Agame.

Reunited with Ryan Moore, he can leave behind a string of disappointing performances this year.

His attitude on some occasions was such that Sir Michael Stoute elected to have him gelded following a race at Haydock where the support that saw his price contract in the betting ring never

London

looked like bearing fruit.

Grand Inquisitor has settled back into work looking a different horse and can demonstrate that point here.

MUTHMIRA will be a popular order for the opening Dark Horse Maiden Auction Stakes and should enable Silvestre De Sousa to extend his lead over Jim Crowley in the race for the jockeys’ title.

It doesn’t worry me that she’s a filly taking on colts because her course form suggests she is useful.

That came at Chelmsford where after losing 10 lengths at the start she ran on in the most eye-catching fashion to trouble the judge.

Simon Crisford sends out a more streetwise competitor here, as Muthmira learned much from her first experience on a racecourse.
