      Verdict

      Hope Probe placed behind higher rated horses than these in a claimer at Catterick while Professor Galant and Rania have both won over 6f in the past with the latter preferred off her current mark. Arthur's Victory may improve on last week’s fifth at Ffos Las but MAAHI VE placed at Yarmouth on her handicap debut and Michael Attwater’s filly could be the one to side with in a weak contest.
