Verdict

LE COQ HARDI bettered his hurdles form last year without recording a victory, running well on his first 2 starts in handicaps, so he can leave behind a lesser effort at Ascot back in maiden company on his return. He gets the vote ahead of the Willie Mullins-trained pair, with Ocastle des Mottes feared most ahead of Soir de Garde.
