Verdict

SERENITY NOW has run in sellers and claimers over hurdles but drops into this grade for the first time on the level. He’s been placed off this mark in handicaps around here lately and has several pounds in hand over his rivals according to the handicapper, despite conceding weight all round. Topamichi would be a danger on his form here at the end of last year but he’s rather gone off the boil. His stablemate Bertie Moon seems better on Polytrack nowadays.
