COEUR SUBLIME (NAP) couldn't peg back Pentland Hills in the Triumph Hurdle but the form was boosted when the winner completed a double at Aintree. Gordon Elliott's charge had Gardens of Babylon around 3l behind at Cheltenham and there doesn't look an obvious reason for a form reversal. The latter's yard is also represented by unexposed Filon D'Oudairies and last month's Limerick winner Star Max but both need to find more while French Made was behind in the Triumph Hurdle though didn't get the best of runs and can finish closer. Way Back Home has a penalty for his Grade 3 victory on this track but doesn't have much to find with Gardens of Babylon on their run at Punchestown in December.
