Gelded and well backed when making all on handicap debut at Newcastle in December; runner-up on his next three starts but form dipped at Southwell (also 7f, AW) towards the end of March; having just his second go on turf and could be well drawn to attack.

Useful filly for Eve Johnson Houghton, readily made all in Epsom maiden (7f, good; Assaranca 4l second) in July; transferred to Neil Mulholland (same owners) but it was a low-key start when last of six in conditions race at Kempton (1m, AW) on her comeback in March; needs to put that behind her on this handicap debut.

Maiden and novice winner (6f, good to firm/good) last summer who was a shade disappointing when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Newbury (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and his neck second of 13 at Newmarket (also 7f, good) was much more like it on his comeback last month; mixed messages have come out of that race but still commands plenty of respect.

Good start when third on AW here (7f) in November and didn't need to improve to beat 11 others returned to that C&D the following month; interesting to see blinkers go on for this handicap/turf debut but still of clear interest on his reappearance.

Couldn't make the most of Lingfield's golden highway when weakening over 7f on his stable debut (50-1) a fortnight ago; drop back to 6f probably in his favour but others hold more pressing claims.

Made all at Nottingham in October under Joe Leavy and she stepped up on her seasonal return when third of six at Epsom (also 8.5f, good) 11 days ago; could be dangerous if she grabs the stands' rail.

Usually runs some sort of race but he has not finished with much purpose at Southwell (AW) or Lingfield (turf) on his last two starts, and this is more competitive; needs a revival.

Chamber Verdict

Balanced lens

Hardy's Hero

Speculative

Hardy's Hero owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (50) and market confidence (93). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
