Formscan - HIERO SPORT stayed out of trouble to win a messy race over 2m3f here and doesn't look overburdened by just a 3lb rise. Assuming he copes with cutting back slightly in trip, another bold showing from the Alex Hales-trained gelding looks likely. Chartwell Jock, who was useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding, finished one place and five lengths in front of Shalfa when third at Plumpton last month. A step forward from that should see him on the premises.
