Chargen's head second to Wayward Glance at Worcester in September is just about the best recorded effort in this but he's probably a little flattered by his form figures. Native Colony will improve on last month's C&D third while Present View wasn't disgraced when fourth at Kempton and has won between the flags. Brassick, Brass Monkey and Jeano De Toulouse are all bumper winners but it could be worth taking a chance on the filly ETHICS GIRL. A stayer on the level, she just got outpaced over 2m at Fakenham but this extra half-mile should be right up her street.
