        In depth

        Verdict

        Dark Charm hails from an in-form yard and has the right man on-board if he is to get off the mark at the second time of asking. He made a very satisfactory debut and a similar effort will see him go close here. Midnight Parkes would make more appeal if he were drawn closer to the inside rail so Amused rates as the biggest danger.
