135 Expert View: Pulled up in Sodexo Live! Gold Cup at Ascot latest where didn't handle track; in good form prior; debut run franked at top level; effective 2-3m, suited by sound surface; mark stiff enough but a big player taking significant drop in class.

131 Expert View: Ran to form beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective at 2m-2m5f, acts on soft and good; former point winner could improve now chasing.

129 Expert View: Tired after bad late error, ran well for a long way, needed run when fourth beaten 23l in a beginners chase chase at Cork latest; effective 2 1/4-2 1/2m, acts with cut; more to come judged on French form.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 2f on soft and heavy ground, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Funiculi Funicula when fourth of 7 on his latest outing in a chase at Cork over 2m 1f (yielding) last month.
141 Expert View: Pulled up in Sefton Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) at Aintree latest where outclassed; wants sound surface, effective 2 1/2m but may get bit further; progressive hurdler in autumn, can do better down in grade now chasing.
Form Snapshot: He has won four hurdle races from 2m 1f to 2m 5f on ground varying from good to yielding. Pulled up at the 6th when 40-1 in the Group 1 Oddschecker Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree over 3m 1f (good to soft) in a Grade 1 hurdle race won by Zeus Power last month on his latest outing.

The winner of a Listed novice hurdle at this track last October, SHADOW PADDY can deliver on his chasing debut. Trainer Eoin McCarthy did exceptionally well with the son of Shadow Gale, picking up four races over flights last year. Highly tried on his reappearance when pulled up in Grade 1 company at Aintree last month, this is more realistic. While his ability to jump fences has to be taken on trust, the six-year-old looks the pick on his hurdles form. Twice successful over flights, Le Coq Hardi has yet to win over fences but has run to a decent level and boasts an official rating of 136. Ocastle Des Mottes has also shown enough over fences to be of interest.
A good race where LE COQ HARDI can take advantage of a drop in class on his return from a break. He brings in some strong handicap form and his debut effort has been boosted at the top level this spring. The drying conditions are in his favour as they are for progressive hurdler Shadow Paddy who was a winner at Listed level in that discipline. He was outclassed in a Grade 1 last time but is entitled to come on for that first run of the year and he looks a big player on his chase debut. Though he is the stable second string on jockey bookings Soir De Garde showed better form over hurdles than his stablemate Ocastle Des Mottes and could also get involved on his first start over fences.
