Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Hardy's Hero
Hardy's Hero tops our ratings and is effective at 7f on a sound surface, with his trainer in good form — he ran with credit in third at Lingfield last time and looks ready to go one better. Marengo Storm is the biggest danger, arriving on the back of a win and a close second, and the step up to 7f looks to suit him; he remains open to progress. Amorim ran well in new gear at Windsor and is not without claims. Hardy's Hero is our selection.
