Verdict
Symbol of Hope is a seven-time course winner who would be a player if reproducing the form of his third in a classified stakes over C&D two starts ago. Connections of Hidden Verse reach for first-time blinkers in the hope of bringing out some improvement, but SOUTHBANK only found one too good at Lingfield on his latest outing and this looks a good opportunity to go one better.
Expert View Verdict
The consistent SOUTHBANK looks the logical choice here. He's dropped back to his last winning mark and the C&D winner will appreciate the fast ground on his turf return. Neptune Legend looks the obvious danger having completed a quick ground double earlier in the summer. Hidden Verse has been struggling of late but soft ground was a valid excuse last time and he has dropped further in the weights so a revival isn't ruled out in first time blinkers.
