BOW SCHOOL looks the best here after showing steady improvement before winning last time out with the challenges likely to come from top weight Super Baby and fair hurdler Anglicisme. A winning pointer in Ireland the selection, another on the card for Howard Johnson, got off the mark under rules last time with a commanding display over a shorter trip. That victory capped a eye-catching consistent run of form and although up nine pounds for that he's well treated on these terms. Super Baby has found marks this high too much top handle in recent starts and only has a one pound reprieve from his seventh place last time. That came in a better race than this though and James Ewart's runner should be respected in this company. Anglicisme is rated 15lbs higher over timer and won a decent race off that mark two starts ago. While he is better over hurdles than fences he looks well treated on his chase handicap debut. Cornerback could be well treated on his chase handicap debut judging on his hurdles mark while Waterski's performance behind Kalahari King was strong but the handicapper has been a little harsh as a result so we opt for Bow School.
