FormscanBy Gary Carson - THE YELLOW CLAY looks hard to oppose here after a commanding performance over course and distance last month. The Yeats gelding quickened away in good style when taking the Grade 3 Monksfield Novice Hurdle last time and takes another step up the ladder now. Willie Mullins relies on My Great Mate. He won a decent contest in Galway on his last outing and while he probably needs to improve on that again the same connections struck with a horse with a similar profile, in Tounsivator, at this level at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Fleur In The Park was a solid third behind the selection here last time and could take minor honours again.
