DONT QUIT ended the last campaign in good form on soft ground and had those conditions on his reappearance at Leopardstown where he battled on after leading 3f out. He's up 6lb but a mark of 56 still looks to be underestimating his ability. Misty Millie hadn't been running well over hurdles before reverting to the Flat and only just failing to overhaul the in-form Cork Harbour. She'll take some beating in that kind of form but top-weight Here In The Dark was beaten in a Thirsk seller in July and hasn't shown much improvement over hurdles. Keep Believing is a heavy-ground performer who ran quite well over a trip too short a couple of weeks ago while Above Us Only Sky was having only her second start for new connections when narrowly beaten in a Dundalk handicap though she's 0-22.
