Formscan  - POLICE ACADEMY made the perfect start for new connections at Uttoxeter last month and appears to be on a fair mark judged on past performances in handicap chases when with Oliver Sherwood. The six-year-old makes most appeal, with Never No Trouble appearing the selection's biggest challenger. The daughter of Time Test has finished runner-up on her last three appearances in this sphere and her latest 1lb rise shouldn't stop another decent effort. In-form rivals Pollypockett and Maggie O round off the shortlist.
