MIDNIGHT THEATRE (NAP) has scored between the flags and though disappointing when a short-priced favourite at Limerick she was found to have lost a shoe so the run is best ignored - she gets the vote on her previous narrow defeat at Punchestown. Milan Dancer is gradually making progress and ran well when sent to Hexham a couple of weeks ago while Howwouldsheno and Steel's Cotton fought out the finish of a point-to-point last May and there shouldn't be much between them again. Swift made a promising hurdling debut here last summer and may do better now the ground isn't so testing.
