      Verdict

      SCHOOLBOY ERROR looks to have every chance having gone close at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut. He finished second over a similar distance on that occasion but most of today's rivals have been competing over shorter trips. They include recent Kempton runner-up Clive Clifton, who finished well ahead of You're A Goat, but Global Avenger came up against higher rated opposition than this in a seller last time and should finish closer. Diamondsaretrumps and Skylark Lady will both need to improve now handicapping for the first time.
