FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BRIGHTBURN had been staying on in his races over six furlongs but seemed to find a mile beyond him at Listowel last weekend. He chased easy winner Giustino for a long way until fading in the final furlong, but it was a creditable effort and coming back in trip should help. The selection needs to turn around course and distance form with Cnodian who has to be respected after that breakthrough success. The latter is up 10lb in the ratings, though, and the ground will be faster which may not suit her as well. Three of these contested a race over 5f at Down Royal and Olivia Valere may fare best of that group having made late gains on handicap debut, while topweight Gordon Bennett did well to beat older horses at Navan and is another for the shortlist.
