Sporting Life Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race)
1m 7f 199y
Going: Good to Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneGiven how this race lacks a potential top-quality performer, COEUR SUBLIME may be underestimated having bounced back to form since joining Henry de Bromhead this season. The seven-year-old ran well behind Ferny Hollow, who would have been clear favourite for this race had he not been injured, twice earlier in the season and he confirmed his well-being when readily scoring at Gowran Park when last seen in January. Blue Lord sets the form standard based on his Irish Arkle victory last month, although Riviere D'etel (second) does not have much to find based on that evidence. Saint Sam was third in the same contest and he could reward each-way support, while Edwardstone is another to consider.
