Formscan By Michael Graham - COEUR SUBLIME can build on his victory at Down Royal. There was plenty of word for him before his jumps debut in the north and the former winner on the Flat obliged by a length and a half. Afterwards, Gordon Elliott identified Fairyhouse for him and expected him to come on plenty for that run having stressed that it was the first time he had got him on grass. Coeur Sublime beat Future Proof three and a quarter lengths into third that day and one of his rivals today, Lever Du Soleil, beat the same horse by two and a quarter lengths at Gowran Park. Therefore, Lever Du Soleil's chance has to be respected. His trainer, Gavin Cromwell, knows what is required having won this with Espoir D'allen last year. Elliott also saddles Chief Justice who has been in cracking form. However, he has a 7lb penalty for winning three hurdle races and that makes it a tricky task for him. Humaniste has plenty going for him. He won over course and distance last month (on quick ground) despite making several mistakes and the runner-up has since obliged. He can get involved granted normal improvement.
