FormscanBy Gary Carson - SERIOUS CHALLENGE is top rated here and this looks a nice opportunity for him on his seasonal debut. The Fracas gelding won a Galway maiden in soft ground last summer, beating a decent sort in Hiawatha. He showed up well for a long way before finishing fourth to Auguste Rodin in Group 2 company on Irish Champions Weekend and looks worthy of his rating of 102. Zoinnocent is rated 5lb inferior to the selection and has to be a big danger here getting 5lb with Hugh Horgan also taking 7lb off her back. She was runner-up in the Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes last season and but it would be a slight concern that all her form was on better ground. Sprewell is a potential improver after a couple of nice maiden runs last season and could pick up minor money.
For three years old only and whose sire established one or more yearling sales in the relevant year with a median price of not more than #50,000 and that have not won more than one race
