FormscanBy Stuart Howden - Although official ratings would suggest Daddy Long Legs, an emphatic winner at Tipperary last month, is the one to beat, BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD can prove too strong. Six from seven so far, Gordon Elliott's mare put the boys in their place when routing the field in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April. Her only defeat came at the Cheltenham Festival the previous month and she will take all the beating if returning on song. Stablemate King Of Kingsfield appeals most of the remainder.
