J: Jack Kennedy

Admirably consistent handicapper who brought his tally to five with two wins at Leopardstown last winter; ran in the County Hurdle before an ambitious Grade 2 attempt at Fairyhouse; has won on good ground, would probably prefer an ease.

J: Jordan Gainford

Admirably consistent handicapper who didn't run too badly when midfield in the County Hurdle last month; however, this is a step up the ladder for him and regular rider Jack Kennedy evidently prefers the chances of The Yellow Clay.

121-rated hurdler made a promising enough start to chasing when third in 2m7f beginners' here in May, not quite getting home under positive ride; shorter trip here could suit, but more needed.

121-rated hurdler who won 2m5f Navan maiden early last season (yielding) but struggled in handicaps, too keen when pulled up at Fairyhouse last time; half-brother to Grade 2-winning chaser Westerner Lady so fair chance he'll take to chasing.

Leopardstown maiden winner has contested Grade 1 novices all three starts since, notably remote fifth to Doctor Steinberg at same venue and better form on latest at Aintree in 3m1f Sefton Novices' when decent fourth in first-time cheekpieces (good-to-soft); this probably a stronger race so more needed.

Won a bumper, maiden hurdle (2m3f) and 2m Grade 3 novice without being extended, all on good-to-yielding; has acquitted creditably in Grade 1 Leopardstown novices' since, none too fluent when third at Christmas (heavy) and keen enough when third over 2m6f behind a stablemate at the DRF; drop back to 2m4f probably in his favour and open to improvement on better ground.

Won a bumper at the festival here in 2023; also took a 2m4f novice hurdle here last October; only subsequent run last season was in a Grade 2 event at Navan last December; should be sharper now than when outpointed by 143-rated hurdler King Of Kinsgfield over C&D on chasing debut.
