Race preview
HARD AS NAILS was a good third on her racecourse bow at Warwick last month and the nature of that run left the impression there would be more in her locker. A full-sister to classy chaser Sam Brown, who also landed a couple of bumpers, she is fancied to claim Listed honours here. Alfie's Princess, a 220,000-pound purchase after winning between the flags, and the selection's stablemate Lilting Verse can give Hard As Nails most to think about.
