A fairly low-key end to the card and the presence of Simon Walker on board Alternate Route will surely make that one favoured by punters the leading amateur always an influence on the market. The stronger handling he receives here will help but the sire New Approach has yet to sire a winner here and that does leave doubts about his suitability for the surface. There are no such doubts about SERENITY NOW and despite the shorter trip and the 6lb penalty for his win last time out he’s taken to follow up here. Affair would be of interest if she could gain an easy lead although she too has to confirm her effectiveness on Fibresand with Best Example and Buthelezi worth a look the latter didn’t convince here last time but his mark has tumbled and he does have a Fibresand pedigree.
