A typical low grade handicap chase for the track to round off the card, with the runners set to encounter the worst of the ground if the forecast overnight deluge arrives. Such is the unpredictability of these type of horses, it's difficult to form solid judgements, but KING OF THE DARK must have an outstanding chance of following up his recent course success against similar rivals, but it's also worth bearing in mind that it took him 20 races under rules (at the age of ten) to get off the mark, so he's hardly what you could call progressive. 1. King Of The Dark 2. What A Dream 3. Captain Sharpe
