    Verdict

    SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL will be a deservedly short price to land this. Mark Johnston's charge was unlucky to come up against the progressive pair Yaseer and Geordie Iris, before finding the potentially useful newcomer Barbican too good here a week ago. He looks to have found a good opportunity to open his account here. The Gillie should improve on November's debut at Doncaster but will need to if he's to better the selection, while General Duke's and Why So Serious have shown nothing to recommend them so far.
