Formscan By John O'Riordan - Narrowly denied on his sole point-to-point outing, MAVERICK MACK can make a winning Rules debut. Having his first start for Gordon Elliott, the four-year-old Pillar Coral gelding is sure to be well prepared for this introduction. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market for a yard that tend to do well with their bumper runners. Famous Figure was disappointing at Ballinrobe last month but would be a serious contender on the form of his eighth placed finish at the festival here in April. Takiwatanga, who finished third in that aforementioned Ballinrobe race, has to be respected on his second start for Emmet Mullins.
