Verdict
BRIGHT IDEA was making his debut on the track when just failing to concede 11lb to Moon Daisy a fortnight ago and can go one better. James McAuley does well in these claimers here and Dalvey is rated 90 curtesy of close efforts in Group 3 company last summer, the latest of them here when he had Choice Of Mine just behind in fourth. Oh Purple Reign bounced back to form at Gowran but failed to handle a 9lb rise at Punchestown a couple of weeks later.
