Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) (Registered As The Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle) (GBB Race)
This looks a high-class renewal, with the three at the top of the betting market all undefeated under NH Rules. Dysart Enos impressed when beating the reopposing Golden Ace in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last season and she hasn't put a foot wrong in three starts over timber so far this term. She boasts C&D-winning form and receives 5lb off her two main rivals, so demands respect for the Fergal O'Brien camp. Jade De Grugy built on her maiden romp when readily landing a Grade 3 contest at Fairyhouse in January and she will have plenty of supporters representing the stable that won this race five years in a row from 2016 to 2020. However, BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD is progressing in the manner of a really smart mare and she was faultless when sauntering to Listed success at Navan last month. She looks versatile in terms of trip, is proven on testing ground and has been spoken about in glowing terms by top handler Gordon Elliott in the build-up to this year's Festival. If you believe the hype, she could be the real deal.

The race was sponsored by Trull House Stud for the first three years followed by Tattersalls before Daylesford took over for the 2020 renewal. Parnell Properties sponsored the race in 2021 before Ryanair stepped in to sponsor in 2022 and has done so since.
The 2023 renewal was named in memory of 13-year-old Jack De Bromhead, son of trainer Henry who sadly lost his life in a point-to-point accident whilst racing on Rossbeigh Beach the previous year.
