With Gordon Elliott responsible for three of the last four winners of this event all eyes are on BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD (2). The trainer certainly didn't hide his excitement for the mare last season and she can make her first outing since landing the G1 Mersey Novices Hurdle at Aintree during April a winning one. Willie Mullins trains DADDY LONG LEGS (1) who rates the obvious threat. Brings the benefit of a recent run under his belt after a wide-margin all-the-way victory in the G3 Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Tramore. KING OF KINGSFIELD (4) ran a rock-solid race to finish fourth in the G1 Bective Stud Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown during April and must be respected. MISS FOURIE (6) heads the remainder.
