11/2

Forecasts

Indian Sounds (5/2), Musharrif (11/2), Line Of Reason (11/2), North Wind (6/1), East Street Revue (8/1), Ginger Jam (10/1), Tom Tulliver (11/1), Dapper Man (11/1), Kindly (11/1), Mythmaker (16/1), Secretinthepark (20/1), Nibras Again (20/1), Athollblair Boy (25/1), True Mason (50/1)

A dual winner at Bath earlier this summer, INDIAN SOUNDS ran another solid race when just touched off at Thirsk 38 days ago. Operating from a handy draw, he's expected to be firmly in the mix once more. This is understandably a competitive affair though, dangers headed up by North Wind, Ginger Jam and Line of Reason.
