FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CAPTAIN MAVERICK was friendless in the market but ran a cracker on debut at Bellewstown when second to a smart-looking newcomer. Headgear is rarely a negative when applied by Dermot Weld and the Free Eagle gelding can go one better. Quickstepping was fourth of 18 on debut at Leopardstown where the winner looked stakes material and fancied newcomers filled the placings. By soft ground influence Fast Company, she looks sure to go close. Megarry took a big step forward on his second start when runner-up over this trip at Roscommon but has more on his plate here. Aafoor, who cost 70,000 Euros at the Breeze Ups and is from the family of Oaks winner Eswarah, is a newcomer to note.
