Formscan By Alan Magee - Blood Destiny is a smart sort over fences having beaten Spillane’s Tower in a Grade 3 over 2m at Navan last year and took advantage of a good opportunity when long odds-on over 2m3f at Listowel last time. However, this step up in trip may stretch his stamina and preference is for ZANAHIYR. The classy Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was placed twice in the Champion Hurdle and only beaten a length when third to Pinkerton over course and distance in the Plate last year. He kept on into seventh behind stablemate Western Fold in the latest renewal of the Plate on Wednesday. Must Be Obeyed may prove best of the remainder.
