FormscanBy Gary Carson - MIDNIGHT OUR FRED looks capable of striking over hurdles off this kind of rating. The nine-year-old ran off a 20lb higher mark over fences on his last outing. On his last appearance over timber, at Cork in November, he ran well when chasing home West Cork Wildway, who was himself making use of a lower hurdles mark then. Lonesome Boatman is another running off a lower rating in this discipline. The Cork National winner was outclassed in graded company on his last start but could be a big player now with Darragh Allen taking 7lb off. Pebble Bleu is back in handicap company after failing to make an impression in a Grade 3 last time. She is another to consider.%0A%0A
