Should i try get Physics remarked?

I got my results yesterday and i am really happy with them:
9888L2D7766
I acheived a 7 in maths which i was really happy about considering the fact i thought i wouldnt after a difficult paper 1 .
The two 6s were in English language and Physics.
im not too bothered about English Language, and the marks for the english language papers weren't given to us.
However i took a look at the aqa physics grade boundaries and it turns out i was only 3 marks off a 7.
I'm now contemplating emailing to ask for a remark in Physics. Would it be worth it?
Furthermore, i've been curious on whether marks can also be taken away in remarks and if there are any cases of people asking for a remarking and coming out with a lower grade.
Also what grade does a level 2 distinction count as , because i dont know whether to consider it a 7 or an 8

If you're unsure, I would check with the teacher.
Personally, I would say it's worth the risk. For one, even if you lose marks it's not going to be by much. On the upside, you have a whole grade to gain.

According to the following, it's a 7: https://www.netherthorpe.academy/attachments/download.asp?file=635&type=pdf
