Verdict

This will be the first time that top-notch mares BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD and Lossiemouth lock horns and while the latter is a worthy favourite, Brighterdaysahead was mightily impressive when winning this 12 months ago and, at the forecast prices, she is the more appealing of the two. The selection was well below her best at the Cheltenham and Punchestown spring festivals but, like Lossiemouth, her record has very few blemishes and she goes very well fresh. Anzadam is best of the rest.
