In depth
Verdict
Amuse Me can't get much lower in the weights but is better known as a chaser and lacks a recent run. In The Crowd has been raised 5lb for a narrow course and distance win but KARL MARX is only 3lb higher than when winning at Wincanton and has been thriving on the quicker ground. Sean Bowen can steer him to another success as Shot In The Dark is a difficult horse to catch right and a 7lb hike in the weights for his second at Stratford appears harsh. The mare Hope's Wishes is lightly-raced but hasn't really threatened so far.
