Formscan  - THE YELLOW CLAY, who was sixth in the Champion bumper here 12 months ago before finishing as the runner-up in the Punchestown equivalent last May, has flourished over hurdles and is an attractive proposition bidding to maintain his unbeaten status in this discipline. The son of Yeats travelled stylishly when recording a Grade 1 success at Naas in January and should be spot on for his Festival return. Final Demand and The New Lion have also yet to taste defeat and are serious players. The former could hardly have been more impressive when bridging the gap from winning a Limerick maiden to score readily in the top-tier at Leopardstown last month. He rates the pick of Willie Mullin's sextet as the trainer bids for a fourth consecutive winner of this race. The latter simply seems to be getting better with each run and is the most striking contender for the home-trained team, although Potters Charm and Sixmilebridge have live each-way chances.
