FormscanBy Alan Magee - NEXT DESTINATION looks the one to beat. The point-to-point winner was a useful sort in bumpers last term including when fourth to the ill-fated Fayonagh in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, and has taken well to hurdling winning both outings this term. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding went right away on the run-in to take a competitive maiden in fine style at this venue, and again put in his best work at the finish when beating Cracking Smart and Jetz in decisive fashion over this trip in the Grade 2 Navan Novice Hurdle. The champion trainer has won this event in the past with lesser fancied runners like Mckinley and Gagewell Flyer, so French import Duc Des Genievres should not be totally discounted. Speak Easy was bought by current connections for 220,000 at the Cheltenham Festival Sale just after taking a point-to-point at Kilworth, and showed that price tag may be well justified when making an impressive start under rules in a Navan maiden hurdle last month.
