Front View is best watched at present while Midnightreflection whipped round at the start at Chepstow and dumped Charlie Case out the side door. The Bomber Liston isn’t really firing at present and easy Uttoxeter winner Call Me Tara was well beaten when favourite at Worcester in September. Fenney Brook won at Hereford last month, however, while Ramo was progressive last season. Regal Renaissance chased home an in-form mare here on her reappearance but we’ll take a chance on TOOTHLESS as Harry Cobden looked after the Nicholls gelding at Plumpton following a mid-race stumble.
