40/1

Truth In Jest (5/2), Symbol of Hope (4/1), Deny Knowledge (9/2), Royal Advice (9/1), Three Hat Day (11/1), Elladora (12/1), Run This Way (14/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (14/1), Secret Eagle (20/1), Sleight (33/1), Zen Dancer (40/1), Runninwild (50/1)

SYMBOL OF HOPE finally got off the mark when winning cosily at Beverley 7 days ago, deserving extra credit given how the race developed, and he's taken to follow up under a penalty. Impressive Thirsk winner Nodsasgoodasawink and Deny Knowledge head up the dangers.
