Formscan By Tom Weekes - MIDLETON RARE debuts over fences but has plenty jumping experience and has been running well. Well suited by this distance and heavy ground, the selection scored at today’s course on New Year’s Day and while he now competes from his same revised 101-hurdle rating, might progress some more. Ag Obair Go Crua has improved in recent months and while he is 7lb higher than when scoring in an ordinary handicap at Tramore on January 1, should also compete. One And Only’s sole success came over hurdles in 2024 but ran well over Christmas.
