Brighterdaysahead Aims to Challenge Constitution Hill in Champion Hurdle

Trainer Gordon Elliott expresses confidence in Brighterdaysahead as a formidable contender for the Unibet Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, following her impressive victories, including a 30-length win over reigning champion State Man. Despite initial doubts about her competitiveness, the mare's recent performances have elevated her status, prompting connections to aim for the Champion Hurdle instead of the Mares' Hurdle. Elliott acknowledges her strengths and past shortcomings, particularly a previous defeat at the Cheltenham Festival, which he attributes to his own strategy. Observers note that while Constitution Hill is the favorite, Brighterdaysahead's ability to thrive under pressure makes her a potential disruptor. Mares have historically performed well in this race, and Brighterdaysahead's track record adds to the intrigue. The stage is set for a thrilling contest as she seeks to prove herself against top competition.
