Verdict

Tricky race. TIME AND RHYTHM (9) was just plain on the Acton here two back before going to Newcastle last time out over 4 ½f. This looks to suit him much better today and Boudvillain's booking is a big push for his chances. Looks to get a lovely run on the map and can get the job done back in grade. INNA ZOU (3) resumes today and showed some ability through her last campaign where she was competitive in stronger races. Ly claims 4lbs and while she may be better over further, she has the class to feature in the finish on resumption. INTO THE FIRE (6) is well placed coming back to this race after racing well through the Acton season. He'll put himself on the speed from an inside barrier and be very tough to reign in. TALUK (8) comes right back in trip today and can bounce back to form. VAINSTREAM (5) is well placed in this grade and can't be discounted with the blinkers on.
