FormscanBy Alan Magee - SAUCY YEATS hails from a yard in top form and this looks a decent opportunity to open her account. The Yeats mare, out of Saucy Present who has already produced four winners including useful types Ordinary World and Conflated, is certainly not one of the stable stars but showed enough when third to Gelee Blanche on her penultimate start at Tramore to suggest a summer maiden hurdle is within her compass. She was a bit disappointing here last month but the form of that race has received a couple of boosts since. General Clermont is an obvious threat having been placed twice in maiden company and last time beat all bar Feel Des Mottes in a handicap over this course and distance. Karakhan and Kilkenny Star are others to consider.
