Verdict

COEUR SUBLIME returns after the summer and can make more progress as a hurdler. He has run well first time out in the past so fitness should not be an issue. He is the marginal selection over Triplicate who found things tough in Grade 1 company last season but should find this a little bit easier. It is hard to write off the chance of Coko Beach who showed a good attitude when winning recently at Punchestown and may have the fitness edge over his rivals. The mare Western Victory needs to put a slightly disappointing run last time out at Limerick behind her but if doing so then she may be capable of springing a minor surprise.
