Showed only moderate promise in five maidens so far, twice letting favourite backers down. Was a remote third of 20 at Tipperary, before pulled up here in May.

Bumper winner at Wexford (over 2m4f) in May, coming right away late in the piece, and a perfectly solid first hurdles effort at Punchestown, but pulled up last day in Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June.

Related to winning chasers and connections wasting little time with him over hurdles. Close fourth in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal in March, eighth of 14 last day, beaten 16½L in Downpatrick chase over 2m3f.

Belatedly started his career earlier this year in a novice chase which resulted in him unseating the rider (jumping very poorly throughout), and has been no better in three maiden hurdles since.

9/2
Failed to complete in four point-to-point starts and well beaten in a bumper on his rules debut. Runner-up in a 3m maiden hurdle at Cork in May. Third of 14, beaten 6½L in Wexford maiden hurdle last week. Will shape better here.

50/1
Eighth foal of a moderate but well-related hurdles winner. Dam's previous offspring failed to register a win and this four-year-old doesn't look like going against the grain.

Forecasts

Major Destination (11/4), Boston Spray (4/1), Whatsinthecorner (9/2), Hickey's Rock (5/1), Optimised (11/2), Echo Lady (8/1), Rwegoinhigh (25/1), Vellutato (50/1), Sweet Destination (50/1), Vodka Society (66/1), Rail Park Lad (80/1), Dora Marquez (100/1)

Verdict

Hickey's Rock and Optimised could dispute the early lead here, with Echo Lady and, third of 14, beaten 6½L in Wexford maiden hurdle last week, Whatsinthecorner, in behind with the selection, MAJOR DESTINATION, who showed a perfectly solid first hurdles effort at Punchestown, but pulled up, when beaten last time out and can put that behind him here.
