George's Lad (11/5), Vanderpoel (3/1), Serious Challenge (9/2), Baseline (6/1), Rubber Ball (11/1), Theatre Tom (14/1), Malfoy Manor (18/1), Viva Valentina (20/1), Sharp Distinction (20/1), Educator (33/1), Another Pearl (33/1), Tillaway (66/1), Foreseen (100/1), Hestina Hill (150/1), Classical Sting (200/1), Voleur De Terres (250/1)

Verdict

SERIOUS CHALLENGE's Flat form is well above average and he's joined a shrewd stable, so he's worth a chance to make a winning start at the possible expense of Vanderpoel, a notable recruit from points. Baseline is the pick of those with hurdling experience.
