Formscan  - Hardy's Hero has been expensive to follow and arguably has more on his plate now than when enduring narrow reverses both here and at Yarmouth the last twice. He gets first-time cheekpieces so could improve, but it might pay to take him on with TRYST, who restored some much-needed confidence courtesy of a smooth Yarmouth win. Lion of Mali and Sierra Sands are noted too.
