      Verdict

      Symbol of Hope has been racing around Bath though he has performed with credit at this course in the past. More Than Likely was a surprise victor at big odds last time out so expect the bookies to be a little more cautious with the chalk but HOPE PROBE is of interest given she was backed last week when dropped in trip and Gina Mangan’s 5lb claim will come in handy in the final analysis. Red Walls may just need a little more help from the handicapper.
