Verdict
BOUNDARIES should prove hard to beat here unless newcomer Indian Arrow proves to be capable of a useful display on debut. Tim Easterby's charge hasn't always appeared to be the most straightforward individual so a note of caution has to be sounded but connections appear to have found a suitably soft race which should present him with the ideal opportunity. The handicapper has rated him 12lbs higher than the next highest rated runner in the race, Silent Blessing, and it will be very disappointing if he fails to convert this penalty kick. Silent Blessing does hail from a yard in top form and may improve for the headgear whilst John Quinn's horses are also in good order and Indian Arrow is out of a juvenile winner so a cautionary market check is advised.
