Formscan - HARDY'S HERO continued his upward trajectory when completing a double at Carlisle 18 days ago. An official rating of 82 looks workable for William Haggas' nursery debutant, with today's extra furlong expected to suit. The biggest threat may emerge from French Affair, who has proved consistent since being gelded in July, while Victorious One could also make his presence felt if breaking better.
