Midnight Charmer went up 8lb for a comfortable victory at Fakenham but was being stoked up when falling at Wincanton.

Brother Scott keeps going up in the ratings without winning. though has an obvious chance from his lowly spot in the handicap but Smart Money made too many mistakes on his reappearance at Ffos Las and was well beaten.
