Verdict
COEUR SUBLIME is rated 11lb superior to next-best Rebel Gold and they all meet at levels here. Henry De Bromhead's charge, a Group 2 winning hurdler, was beaten a head by Blue Lord in a Grade 1 at Punchestown in April and though 14 lengths behind that winner at Leopardstown in December his overall form puts him in the driving seat. Rebel Gold landed a Grade A handicap at Fairyhouse last month, with Battleoverdoyen well beaten in fourth, and wasn't disgraced in a tough Leopardstown handicap last time. Born By The Sea appears to have gone backwards in recent starts but still looks best of the remainder.
