BRIGHT NEW DAWN made a bold attempt to concede Djakadam 11lb when only succumbing on the run-in in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown in January when Mullaghanoe River was left toiling. Dessie Hughes' charge has to concede weight all round here but looks capable of doing so after he easily beat Mallowney in a Grade 2 at Navan. Letter Of Credit is an experienced competitor over fences having already won twice but he's vulnerable to an improver. Owega Star took his time to warm up over fences but won two of his last three in the summer though on quicker ground than he's likely to face here. Colstonesober and Leavethelighton will need to improve to take a hand.
