FormscanBy Michael Graham - SAYLAVEE is one to take seriously on handicap chase debut. She made a promising start to her chasing career last season when winning twice at Killarney and Tramore, and filling the runner-up berth in a Grade 3 novice chase at Galway. She's ground versatile which helps with all the forecast rain for Punchestown. Dutch Schultz has been outrunning his odds in his last couple of starts in Fairyhouse and over a similar trip at this track, and another good show looks likely. The Banger Doyle faced a tough task in second behind an odds-on favourite at Listowel, but did win this race last year and has a very good record in Punchestown.
