Verdict

BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD is taken to enhance Gordon Elliott's fine recent record in this Grade 3 contest, a race he has saddled the winner of three times in the last four years. The 5-y-o has tasted defeat just once from seven career starts and she looked very good indeed when landing a Grade 1 at the Aintree Grand National meeting. Daddy Long Legs thumped Smooth Tom and three others in a Tipperary Grade 3 last month and he is the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemate King of Kingsfield.

  3. KING OF KINGSFIELD (IRE)
