FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DOWNTHEREFORDANCIN is not exactly progressive but has loads of experience and the 107-rated gelding may be good enough to land a maiden of this standard. Gavin Cromwell's charge, who handles easy ground, has been soundly beaten on his last two starts but has been given a break and his earlier form includes two narrow defeats in handicaps over similar trips to this. Maroto's rating entitles him to beat the selection but he's had jumping issues and was well held when last seen in a competitive Punchestown handicap. His second in a Clonmel maiden came on testing ground. Nitty Gritty shaped quite well when fifth on hurdles debut at Tipperary and may improve for the fitting of headgear. %0A
