A competitive heat, but Paul Nicholls' juvenile RARE MIDDLETON has created a very good impression in 2 starts over hurdles so far and an opening mark of 119 shouldn't prove beyond him, so he's fancied to get the better of Takeit Easy, who has slipped in the weights and should be suited by the track. Parramount and Big Boy Bobby also appeal as leading players.
