Midnight It Is was engaged in the 3.40 yesterday. Nicky Henderson sends two with the hat-trick seeking City Chief looking the best on jockey bookings. Maze Runner prefers more cut in the ground but he's gradually dropping to an attractive mark. Macs Charm is on a four-timer but a 12lb rise for last month's Naas victory may halt his progress while A Great View was beaten a long way in this last year though he's won twice around here. Panda Boy beat a huge field at Leopardstown but couldn't handle an 8lb rise on a return visit so the vote goes to SASSY YET CLASSY, a winner here in November who just failed to concede 22lb to the winner in a Grade B handicap at Navan later.
