FormscanBy Michael Graham - Runner-up MAXWELL SMART got to within three-quarters of a length of a gambled-on winner over 1m5f in Navan which was a highly-creditable effort. That run wasn't out of the blue as on his penultimate start over the same trip in Navan, he put in a decent shift for fifth place. Lariat ran a stormer on stable debut when second over flights in Listowel. He's on a very-lowly mark if he can transfer some of that ability to the Flat. Nicola Burns steered Randall Poets Lass to fourth at Fairyhouse in June and the pair are reunited here. Make Good and Steps In The Sand will also have their supporters in this staying test.
