Narrative: Small-field beginners chase where Le Coq Hardi sets the standard on ratings (RPR 138, OFR 136) and De Bromhead reports him well after 201 days off, though he was tailed off when pulled up last time. The Mullins yard fires two with Townend choosing Ocastle Des Mottes — already runner-up on chasing debut — over Soir De Garde. Shadow Paddy is top-rated over hurdles but lighter connections and pulled up last time at Aintree temper enthusiasm. Likely shape sees Le Coq Hardi and Ocastle Des Mottes as the two with the strongest claims. Recommended: Le Coq Hardi Clear top-rated (RPR 138, OFR 136) in a modest beginners chase, with De Bromhead noting he goes well fresh. Some good runs in defeat over fences mean the jump in class is well within his compass. Alternative: Ocastle Des Mottes Mullins/Townend combo and was already runner-up on chasing bow at Punchestown. Townend's choice between the two yard runners is meaningful — entitled to come on for the Cork comeback run. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-05-30 18:08 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11969997
