Verdict

MAROTO was unable to land a blow on handicap debut at Punchestown back in May but Willie Mullins' 7-y-o had previously proved steadily progressive in maiden hurdles and he's worth another chance to get back on the up with further progress anticipated. Downtherefordancin and Jeu de Pic are others to consider along with Nitty Gritty.
