FormscanBy Alan Magee - Gordon Elliott has won this race seven times in the past decade and THE YELLOW CLAY was the pick of these in bumpers winning a Listed race at Limerick and beating all bar Redemption Day in the Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival. The Yeats gelding easily landed a maiden on his hurdle debut at Down Royal earlier this month and riding arrangements suggest he’s the stable choice over two other maiden winners. Where’s My Jet followed up a Killarney maiden win by making all in good style over this trip at Listowel and rates a threat along with Fleur In The Park who kept good company in bumpers and made a successful start over hurdles at Wexford last month.
