BLOOD DESTINY looked a high-class youngster when scoring here and at Cork, by five lengths from Sir Allen, and was strongly fancied for the Triumph Hurdle but ran poorly. He has to be given a chance to prove that running all wrong. Stablemate Gust Of Wind finished in front of him at Cheltenham but both Sir Allen and Tekao disappointed in the Boodles at the Festival. Cougar looked a nice prospect when landing his first two races but pulled much too hard behind Lossiemouth in a Leopardstown Grade 2.
