His only win since July 2019 came over this C&D but it is easy enough to look elsewhere now he returns from a 213-day break.

We thought we'd take everything off. Hard Nut had threatened to win a few times, but if there's a bit of trouble he'll be the one to get in it, whether it's traffic jams or receiving a bump. We always thought he was ready to win, but he just never got his head in front. He looked like he enjoyed that and hopefully that will give him a bit of confidence now and he can go on - Linda Perratt, trainer, speaking to Racing TV.

It was a good performance from Hard Nut. I don't think it was much of a race, but he did everything right and showed plenty of speed. He finished out his race well. I was worried about the last furlong, but he stays six. The ground was quick enough and he'd take some ease - Sean Levey, rider.
