Verdict
Plenty of potential in the Grade 3 novice, headed by THE YELLOW CLAY, who was the best of these in bumpers and made a facile winning debut in this sphere at Down Royal. Fleur In The Park posted a good timefigure when making all in a novice at Wexford and is next best ahead of the selection's stablemate Patter Merchant.
