FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MIDDLEMARCH should take all the beating if behaving himself better than on his debut at Gowran Park in May. On that occasion the Aidan O'Brien trained colt was reluctant to load, before being slowly into stride. However, once finding his feet, the son of Caravaggio really caught the eye with the amount of late ground he made up. With the form of that maiden working out nicely, he looks the one to be on now. Zoffman was disappointing at Killarney last time but faced a difficult task from his wide draw. He had run some solid races in maiden company prior to that and is interesting in first-time blinkers. Roman Bull has to concede weight to his three-year-old rivals but should be involved. The form of his Limerick second was well advertised at Galway last week.
