2026 Scottish Triumph Hurdle Betting Odds at Musselburgh racecourse

Saturday, 31 January 2026

The Scottish Triumph Hurdle takes place over one mile, seven and a half furlongs, with this being the first race on the card at Musselburgh on Saturday. Minella Study has been racking up the wins this term and looks to be a very handy juvenile, with Nicky Henderson having a couple of lively contenders and the trainer has plenty of experience in this type of race.

Fantasy World comes into the race with a strong reputation and could prosper well on good to soft conditions, with Secret Force having run a couple of times. The latter has secured a victory and was fourth last time out. Mustang Du Breuil was a winner for Henderson on his debut and Lord is another interesting runner with lots of runs under his belt.

2026 Scottish Triumph Hurdle Betting Tips

Minella Study is the warm favourite for the Scottish Triumph Hurdle, with the horse running well at Cheltenham in the middle of December. Sent off at odds of 5/1, the runner was able to win a Triumph Hurdle Trial under Ryan Mania. It was a winning distance of six and a half lengths, with that coming after obliging at Wetherby at the end of October.

In a Juvenile Hurdle, the Adam Nicol-trained charge was able to score a victory at odds of 8/1. Beating 2/5 favourite Ammes was no mean feat considering the horse came in with a hot reputation, with the runner having been victorious at Tipperary back in July. There have also been smart performances at Ballinrobe and Musselburgh.

Fantasy World is perhaps the leading Nicky Henderson-trained contender, with the horse able to oblige in early October which was his last race. The runner was a surpise victor at 20/1 when it came to the Noel Murless Stakes which was a listed race. This came after a decent effort at Haydock Park over one mile and six furlongs in September.

Liari has been foot-perfect during a short career to date, winning at Wincanton towards the end of October before securing a victory at Aintree more recently. The latter win saw the horse claim a juvenile hurdle triumph over two miles and one furlong on heavy ground, with the Paul Nicholls-trained runner claiming a three-length win in the process.

An Bradan Feasa has also been impressive coming into this race. The latest victory came in mid-December when fending off six other runners to claim a success. Previously to this, there was a smart performance to finish second behind Burdett Road when the Jack Jones-trained horse finished six lengths off the pace set by the winner.

Roaring Legend started his season by finishing second in a six-runner race even if the horse was no match for Kalif Du Berlais. Olly Murphy will be optimistic of a big run after his charge previously got plenty of experience as a three-year-old, with the horse carrying less weight than the front two in the betting market for this race.

Balboa is trading at a similar price and the horse had two runner-up appearances at Cheltenham and Chepstow Racecourse in December, with the latest effort coming in the Coral Juvenile Hurdle where he was no match for the favourite Salver when a small field competed over two miles on soft ground.
