Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Le Coq Hardi
Le Coq Hardi is our selection at Sligo, and he gets the nod over Minella Sixo thanks to a fitness edge and a proven record on these conditions, with only a pound separating them on our figures (129 to 130). Over 21 furlongs on good ground, that touch of race sharpness and proven form on these conditions can decide a tight contest. Minella Sixo is the obvious danger as the top-rated runner, while Itsalladream is just a pound further back on 128, and Soir De Garde, on 122, is the third one to fear. Le Coq Hardi looks the right one to side with in a competitive six-runner field.
