Verdict

A 3-time winner in maiden/novice company last season, SERIOUS CHALLENGE ran another solid race when fourth on his respective handicap debut at Sandown on his final start in April. There's surely more to come from Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o this term and he earns the vote. Ace of Spades was progressive himself last season and he's feared, as is Cracking Rhapsody who enjoyed a smashing 2024/25.
