Formscan By Stuart Howden - Maxwell Smart has hit the woodwork on each of his last three racecourse appearances and is entitled to plenty of respect, but it is DOCTOR GRACE that shades preference. The Buratino mare kept on well into second over 1m2f at Navan when last seen in April but this new trip is worth exploring, and she's taken to go one place better. Beautiful Chaos should not be overlooked back on the level, while Lady Kai is another that needs to be taken seriously following a promising seasonal return.
