Verdict

Few of these make any appeal but Tynecastle Park was second in one of these events over 2m here earlier in the week under Ross Birkett. The latter has switched to Best Example today, who has yet to race on Fibresand, but SERENITY NOW scored at this track last week. A penalty is reduced by the talented Abi McCain’s allowance and Brian Ellison’s charge can go in again. Alternate Route and Affair are both partnered by leading amateurs and it would be no surprise if either figured in the finish.
