Going - Good. Fine

Formscan By Alan Magee - Smart juvenile hurdler BLOOD DESTINY was sent straight over fences last season winning twice including a victory over Spillane’s Tower in a 2m Grade 3 at Navan. The selection has run well fresh in the past and riding arrangements suggest he’s preferred of Willie Mullins’ four runners. Classic Getaway had Appreciate It behind when third to Embassy Gardens on his reappearance at Tramore on New Year’s Day and should benefit from that outing, while Fil Dor is generally consistent in this grade. Appreciate It has been a bit disappointing since a highly creditable second to Fastorslow in the John Durkan last season, while Grand National runner-up Delta Work is again aiming towards Aintree.
