Forecasts

The Yellow Clay (8/11), Where's My Jet (4/1), Fleur In The Park (9/2), Patter Merchant (13/2), Blue Mosque (8/1), Prends Garde A Toi (18/1), All For Rachel (25/1), Blaze The Way (66/1), Wrecking Ballbilly (200/1)

Plenty of potential in the Grade 3 novice, headed by THE YELLOW CLAY, who was the best of these in bumpers and made a facile winning debut in this sphere at Down Royal. Fleur In The Park posted a good timefigure when making all in a novice at Wexford and is next best ahead of the selection's stablemate Patter Merchant.
