Cappucino seeks to make it third-time lucky having placed twice at Naas. He holds Familiar Dreams on the form book but THE YELLOW CLAY created a very favourable impression at Leopardstown, when Miss Gherkin was only fourth, and is fancied to defy his penalty under Jamie Codd. Jeriko De Baune, Colleen Danu and Ossie's Lodge are all likely improvers.
