Forecasts
The Yellow Clay (5/4), Final Demand (7/4), Lovely Hurling (11/1), Queensbury Boy (11/1), Mr Percy (12/1), Tripoli Flyer (14/1), Funiculi Funicula (14/1), Belloccio (22/1), Eastern Legend (125/1)
THE YELLOW CLAY may have lost his unbeaten record over hurdles but he still emerged with plenty of credit when runner-up in Grade 1 company at Cheltenham in March and, with further progress anticipated, he looks to hold prime claims again. The similarly exciting Final Demand finished a place behind the selection on his most recent start and can provide chief resistance. Lovely Hurling and Tripoli Flyer rate next best.
