TOO BRIGHT shaped well when placed on his first couple of starts this year and wasn't seen to best effect at Fairyhouse last time. Given a break since and fitted with a tongue strap, he's fancied to get back on track and open his account in an open race. The lightly-raced See The Love is a danger and French Company warrants respect after an improved showing at Sligo earlier in the month.
