Verdict
Indian Sounds finished a modest third over today’s trip at Ayr on his debut and can figure again with normal progress. But FIRELIGHT is also expected to improve having made a tardy start over the minimum trip at Sandown but doing her best work in the closing stages when finishing in front of Dark Shadow. All Back To Mine is going the right way while Masaru and Bercheny are newcomers to note.
