Assumes freak trends go at random (5,3,7)
I believe the answer is:
takes for granted
'assumes' is the definition.
(taking for granted is a kind of assuming)
'freak trends go at random' is the wordplay.
'random' indicates anagramming the letters.
'freak'+'trends'+'go'+'at'='freaktrendsgoat'
'freaktrendsgoat' with letters rearranged gives 'TAKES FOR GRANTED'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
