Formscan By Mark Nunan - Having looked limited over hurdles, ANOTHER CHALLENGE showed much improved form on chase debut when second in a Down Royal handicap over Christmas. The third won recently and Oliver McKiernan’s six-year-old is bred to appreciate the extra two furlongs that he races over here. Since the selection’s latest outing, his stable has enjoyed a revival in form and he can add to its recent fruitful spell. Royal Time was a long way behind Another Challenge at Down Royal in December, but ran a much better race when third back there the following month and he is now tried in blinkers. Another Ocana has a good record at this venue and has place claims. %0A
