In depth
Verdict
Lynda Ramsden's Amused looks primed for success on this his first run in a handicap. Having shaped well in midfield on all three starts to date Amused looks to have been allotted a fair mark, and with the assistance of Kieren Fallon looks interesting. Mornin Reserves popped up in heavy ground at Ayr last week but is unlikely to be as effective on this better ground, but Secret Spoof has been knocking on the door of late and despite having to carry topweight shouldn't be too far away.
