FormscanBy Gary Carson - BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD looked very smart when making a wide margin winning debut at Gowran Park in February and can land a valuable prize here. The Kapgarde filly cost a massive €310,000 as a store and is a half-sister to stablemate Mighty Potter as well as French Dynamite and Indiana Jones. Willie Mullins runs a couple with Patrick taking the mount on Gigginstown gelding Grand Slam Slam. The Blue Bresil gelding is a half-brother to a decent sort in Stoner's Choice and from the family of Ferny Hollow. Jamie Codd takes the ride on newcomer Dee Capo for Gordon Elliott, trainer of the selection. This Maxios gelding cost €230,000 as a store and is from the family of Vauban.
