oddschecker Verdict
Having returned to form on his last two starts, BRIGHT IMAGE can record a first career success. Trained in Kildare by Christy Donoghue, the seven-year-old had shown promise on a couple of occasions in 2023 and 2024, before injury intervened. Entitled to have needed his reappearance when well down the field at Gowran in May, the son of Fulbright wouldn't be winning out of turn. Runner-up here last time, Carvalhal has been done no favours from a wide draw. However, the gelding should make his presence felt with a clear passage. Bella Colombia is also worthy of consideration in an open affair.
Prediction: 1st Bright Image, 2nd Carvalhal, 3rd Bella Colombia
