Grand Inquisitor posted his first success since October 2017, and his first on the all-weather, with a game victory at Chelmsford under David Egan.
In a strange race, he led after a furlong, and was headed. Then looked to be struggling two out, before rallying to lead again inside the final furlong.
In the end, he stayed on strongly enough to beat Livvys Dream by a length and a quarter with the reapplied visor making a difference.
