BRIGHTLY SHINING (NAP) was only beaten narrowly in the lucrative Ulster Derby over 1m4f at Down Royal and with this shorter trip no problem he can gain his first victory on just his sixth start. Corker Hill produced a surprise when landing a strong handicap at the Curragh and though 8lb higher he can get involved again. Multiculture has been very consistent and his run behind Algonquin at the Curragh could be given a boost by the winner in the previous race. Masterchippy found 1m5f much too far at Navan after a much better run over this trip there earlier.
