Forecasts

The Yellow Clay (4/11), My Lyka (10/3), Wingmen (7/2), Champagne Kid (7/1), John The Spark (12/1), Garnacho (22/1), Augusta George (28/1), Interchangeable (80/1), Healdsburg (125/1)

Willie Mullins' MY LYKA is the clear pick of those with experience and fancied to get off the mark in this sphere. Gordon Elliott saddles two interesting hurdling newcomers though in the shape of Wingmen (second choice) and The Yellow Clay and they should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way.
