Verdict
SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL is a close relation to the trainer's former stable star, Systematic, and if he has any of his resilience, he could be useful. Sylas Ings has bombed a couple of easier chances in the past and it would be an easy call to be losing faith about him. Paradise Place has looked as if needing a first outing so should have improved. Run On Ruby will make more appeal once allocated a handicap mark. Cape Classic was evidently expected to go some way better than his debut suggests. Rod Millman won with a similar type last week at Wolverhampton so do not dismiss Icebuster in the event of any market confidence.
