BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD had stamped herself as a serious player at the highest level before a rare below-par display when fourth in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham 53 days ago. However, that effort is best forgiven in isolation and she's hard to oppose on these terms. Jade de Grugy looks the chief threat on the back of her second in the Mares' Hurdle at the Festival, with Gala Marceau next best.
