FormscanBy Michael Graham - TEAHUPOO is taken to confirm form with Quilixios and enhance Gordon Elliott's record in this race. Elliott's charge beat his rival by 12 lengths in a Grade 3 at Naas last month. Triumph Hurdle winner Quilixios is much better than that (jockey reported he hunt right throughout that race) but it is hard to see him bridging the gap on 2lb better terms. There should be plenty more to come from lightly-raced Teahupoo as it was his first outing since April. Elliott has landed this race in three of the last five years. Slip Of The Tongue has plenty on his plate with the aforementioned pair but showed plenty of ability when shedding his maiden tag at Tipperary in May.
