Race preview
Paul Nolan has BRIGHT SUNBIRD and Saga Aravis engaged here, whilst Dermot McLoughlin could also have two runners, with Sand And Water and first reserve Autumn Crusade. Bright Sunbird has been afforded a nice break since falling at the first at Wexford in early September. Prior to that the Milan mare disappointed when market-leader at Killarney in August. She never travelled on the good ground then. However there should be a race or two in the Jim Mernagh owned and bred six-year-old, and catching her fresh may well be a smart idea. There's every possibility that the addition of a hood could help put top-weight Kashi right there at the business end.
