Formscan By Tom Weekes - Smart bumper performer THE YELLOW CLAY can make a winning debut over hurdles on suitably good-to-yielding ground. A Listed winner, he finished sixth and runner-up in Cheltenham and Punchestown Grade 1s respectively on most recent runs and while he now competes over a staying distance, possesses good ability. Stablemate and Punchestown festival winner Wingmen has also been declared. He too is capable and being an impressive winner of a useful point-to-point, has proven stamina but is seemingly second-string. My Lyka has flopped twice from his last three runs in big Flat prizes but did show form in September. Prior to those, he finished second on hurdles debut at Killarney and while suited by conditions, should struggle to win.
