FormscanBy Alan Magee - SAYLAVEE looks a class apart given a clear round on her chasing debut. The Willie Mullins-trained mare won four times (2 bumpers/2 hurdles) in 2022 including a Listed 2m3f Punchestown mares’ novice and has been placed on both outings this year including a three-mile handicap at Ayr last month. Costanuci was progressive over hurdles at a lower level last year winning three handicaps including when beating Sea Aster at the Listowel Festival, while Henning also won three hurdle races but hasn’t progressed over fences and comes here off a fall at Ballinrobe. Pebble Bleu showed modest form over hurdles but gave some encouragement when second on her chase debut at Thurles.
