Gordon Elliott's rising star Brighterdaysahead is likely to line up for the December Hurdle at Leopardstown next, but the Mares' Hurdle route still looks to beckon come Cheltenham.
The five-year-old has been beaten only once in nine runs under rules, when second to Golden Ace at the Festival last season, and outside of that loss has an impressive record over trips varying from two miles to two miles and five furlongs.
