FormscanBy Alan Magee - The lightly-raced BRIGHT IDEA may prove difficult to beat. Joseph O’Brien’s charge was in hindsight attempting a stiff task on his handicap debut when going down by half-a-length to Champers Elysees in receipt of just 4lb here last summer. The Zoffany gelding was absent for 11 months until opening his account in a Killarney maiden and ran a cracker subsequently on very testing ground when a close-up third to Baby Zeus over course and distance on Irish 1,000 Guineas day. He should get home a bit better on this sounder surface. Solene Lilyette is on a hat-trick after winning a Limerick maiden and following up in impressive fashion over this trip at Leopardstown. A 12lb higher mark makes life a lot more difficult, while others to consider include Miss Myers and Cape Islay.
