Formscan  - HARDY'S HERO made an encouraging seasonal debut when beaten only a neck at Newmarket. That good effort strongly suggests William Haggas' charge is capable of winning in this grade and the son of New Bay is taken to resume winning ways. Improvement is expected from French Affair back on the turf based on last year's placed efforts, while novice winner Oracle Mission is worth noting on his turf/handicap debut.
