      Verdict

      Kraken Power placed over 6f here when ahead of Freedom Flyer and the latter was also beaten by One Last Hug at the track before that. Jim Goldie’s charge has the measure of Saturday's Musselburgh second Stay Smart though struggled at Redcar last time and a chance is taken INDIAN SOUNDS can end a long barren spell. The latter has tumbled down the weights and posted a better effort in a higher grade sprint at Pontefract last month.
