FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Gordon Elliott is pulling out all the stops attempting to win this for the fifth consecutive year, having declared both THE YELLOW CLAY and Casheldale Lad and preference is for the former. The selection is high-class and in March finished second to The New Lion in the Turners Novice at Cheltenham. Although below his best when falling at Punchestown, he returns following a summer’s break and can concede 8lb to his race-fit stablemate. Placed third in the Galway Hurdle, Casheldale Lad scored subsequently at Listowel and looks sure to run his usual race. In-form Royal Hollow looks next best as she likes good ground whereas progressive four-year-old Bacchanalian makes his seasonal reappearance on an unsuitably sound surface.
