Forecasts

Quilixios (1/16), Glorious Zoff (5/2), Varna Gold (10/1), Na Caith Tobac (25/1), Anjician (50/1)

Verdict

QUILIXIOS is unbeaten in 2 and already favourite for the Triumph Hurdle, so he's expected to continue his highly promising start by landing this. His stablemate Glorious Zoff, who cruised clear to score readily at Sligo on hurdling debut, is the clear danger, with Varna Gold not completely ruled out.
