Clearly amiss in the Greatwood at Cheltenham last time, SERIOUS CHALLENGE is taken to get back on track by bagging this prize. He didn't shape badly when too keen over 2½m on return at Aintree and, judged on his exploits as a novice last term, he surely has races in him in 2m handicaps off this sort of mark. Brentford Hope rates the clear main danger ahead of Geromino, who will be a live each-way player if ready to roll following a lengthy absence.
