      Verdict

      Bow School landed a hunter chase at Wetherby last May and was having his first start since June when slamming his rivals over hurdles at Kelso last month. Not surprisingly he's been raised 12lb for that success but could still be capable of better. Flying Squad was in very good heart early last year before losing his form. He returned to action in November with a smooth victory at Wetherby and though not seen since he clearly goes well fresh. Keith Reveley was probably pleasantly surprised when the handicapper only raised DANCING ART 7lb for a convincing victory over the C&D last month and the progressive six-year-old looks capable of adding to that success here. The lightly-raced Trustan Times is the type to improve a great deal and can make his presence felt on his handicap debut despite a big weight.
