Verdict

BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD has looked a class act on each visit to the racecourse, again barely asked a question when easing to success in a listed event at Navan a month ago, so she's marginally preferred to Jade de Grugy, another bright prospect representing a top Irish yard. Dysart Enos was highly impressive at Doncaster last time and looks the clear pick of the British contingent.
