Formscan  - HARDY BOY arrives in fine form having built on a couple of good efforts over 2m4f to score with plenty left in the tank over this longer trip at Market Rasen. The seven-year-old can shrug off a 7lb rise in his current frame of mind and go in again. A runner-up at Market Rasen in July, Clararose looks worth another try over this distance and is less exposed than Finisk River, who went close at Worcester last week.
