Bumper winners THE MEDIATOR and Saylavee are likely to come to the fore in this maiden, provided they both get into a good rhythm jumping-wise. The latter is bound to be popular in her hat-trick bid but preference is for Gordon Elliott's charge, who was third in what looked a decent Fairyhouse bumper when last seen in April. Bushmans Pass, who also has a bumper win on his CV, is worth a second look and Ballinlough Gale shouldn't be far away, albeit he's 0-10 over hurdles.
