Formscan  - Hard To Believe weakened late on at Salisbury on his debut but that was on heavy ground and he may be a different proposition on a better surface. Nicely Timed showed improvement to finish third at Ffos Las albeit more than five lengths off the winner, but the vote goes to ABUNDANT. Second on his sole start on the all-weather, he looked the sort to learn plenty from the experience and tops the shortlist.
