A small field which could be reduced further with Oscars Reign engaged yesterday at Worcester. The Trampolinist hasn’t done a lot wrong since making a winning debut at Uttoxeter in September but she might be vulnerable to an improver like EAVESDROPPING, who was second behind a subsequent winner at Southwell last month. Newtonian has a decent pedigree so can’t be ignored and neither can points winner Time Please.
