FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MAROTO is almost certainly capable of better than he has shown to date, so in an ordinary contest the Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old gets the vote. Jumping mistakes have blighted the geldings short career to date but if putting in a more proficient round this afternoon, he has to be competitive. Zulu Mike was staying on when coming to grief at the final flight on his racecourse debut at Thurles last month. If that fall hasn't left its mark then the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding can go close. Opposite Ends is one to monitor in the market on just his second appearance in over 500 days. Charles Byrnes is unlikely to have persevered with the son of Mahler unless he felt there were races in him.
