FormscanBy Donal Murphy - LE COQ HARDI gets the nod over You Oughta Know and Fiveonefive. With plenty of experience over the larger obstacles to his name, the Henry de Bromhead-trained selection went down by just three-quarters of a length in a competitive handicap at Kilbeggan on his most recent start. Back in calmer waters, he could prove hard to beat off a mark of 138. You Oughta Know rates as the chief danger, with this one also filling the runner-up spot on his latest outing. He lost little in defeat when beaten by Galway Plate hope Anyway in that Kilbeggan heat, and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. A five-time hurdles winner and starting off over fences, Fiveonefive looks the best of the rest.
