MISS SERIOUS fell at Exeter during the week before the race had began in earnest. She had earlier finished runner-up to Belmount, who won again subsequently, at Newton Abbot and gets the vote on that form. I'm In Charge was a long way in front of Gentleman Jon when runner-up to Present Man over these fences last week while Cernunnos would have a shout on his earlier fifth at Southwell but is unreliable and was well beaten at Market Rasen last time.
