Verdict
Mill Quest has struck form and followed a comfortable victory over a big field at Cork with a very good effort from 9lb higher at Listowel though she's up in the weights again. Teacher's Pet has been steadily improving all summer so it was no surprise when she won at Downpatrick and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big effort. ROCKEY STORM couldn't quite get to Father Jed at Galway when conceding 8lb but the winner has since boosted the form with another victory so Shay Barry's charge can continue on the upgrade and gain his first hurdling success. Maighnealta ran well in fourth that day though looks held but Jack Slade looks a big threat providing he's over his Down Royal fall as he was travelling like a winner when coming to grief that day.
