BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD makes loads of appeal on paper and looked a good prospect herself when making it 2-2 in bumpers back in the spring. Very much the type to make her mark over hurdles, she's fancied to make her presence felt for her powerful yard. Rockstown Girl, River Tara and Gone For Tea all rate likely improvers and can give the selection most to do, in that order.
