Verdict

TOO BRIGHT left his 2-y-o form well behind upped to 1½m on return at Dundalk in April and promises to be suited by this further step up in trip. He is preferred to Happy Lad, who ran about as well as could have been expected at Listowel last time and this is a more realistic assignment. Victory March and Franno are others to consider, while Ever A Dream is also worth a second look.

  1. TOO BRIGHT (IRE)
  2. HAPPY LAD (IRE)
  3. VICTORY MARCH (IRE)
