Forecasts

Quilixios (1/1), Cool Survivor (7/4), La Malmason (6/1), Captains Nephew (14/1), Wee Charlie (22/1), Backintheroom (25/1), Teescomponentsyess (33/1), Bushmans Pass (150/1), Soldier Of Honour (250/1), Made In Muckross (250/1)

Though his wellbeing has to be taken on trust following a 16-month absence, QUILIXIOS was much the best of these over hurdles and will take plenty of stopping if he makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt. Cool Survivor, also a talented hurdler, is clear next best ahead of La Malmason.
