RELEASE THE KRAKEN produced his best effort yet when runner-up at Ayr last time and he can build on that run to go one better. His jumping was much better in cheekpieces and he went down by only a nose, so with further progress to come he can make his third start in handicaps a winning one. Gustav's Dream is feared most upped in trip, while Your Place has been holding her form well of late.
