That was a first run of the season for Brighterdaysahead after plans to send her novice chasing had to be shelved and Elliott is expecting her to be even better at Leopardstown. “She has improved, she’s in very good form. Whether she’s good enough to beat Lossiemouth, I’m not saying that at all as we know she is very good but ours has improved, she’s in good form and I’m happy with her. “Ballyfad was good in Leopardstown, I was happy with what I saw and he’ll definitely go for the two-miler,” said Elliott. “Mange Tout was good at Down Royal and Fairyhouse and she’s won in France before that, she’s a good mare, we like her.
