FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SMALLCRAFTWARNING was second three times in a row in handicap chases in October after winning over fences for the first time at Killarney in July. He was tailed off at the latter track on his first run of the year, but probably needed the outing and a more prominent display would not be a surprise now. Leopardstown winner Harbour Highway may not have been suited by dropping back in trip when second at Kilbeggan, and stepping up to three miles may unlock more improvement. The locally-trained Battle Of Mirbat is a strong stayer and has been largely consistent since his latest win at Down Royal in November. %0A
