Verdict
SAYLAVEE has a fine pedigree for jumping and looks a very nice prospect after completing a double in bumpers. The Mediator easily landed a Down Royal bumper in October and ran well in a better race at Fairyhouse in April so he's another to look forward to over hurdles. Bushmans Pass stayed on very strongly to land a 2m2f Tipperary bumper in May while Ballinlough Gale has been going well in handicaps and will ensure the hurdling newcomers have a test.
