Verdict

Cinema De Quartier is likely to do better when facing the bigger obstacles but Major Destination won a bumper over this trip on good ground at Wexford and won't be beaten for pace. Someday won a Leopardstown bumper and was well supported for the championship event at the Festival here last month but pulled very hard and had nothing left in the straight. He's expected to make a smart hurdler while Immortal Bridge had some decent form on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien and his new handler is in very good form at present. LAC KIVU has had three runs on the Flat in the French provinces, winning the latest in July. He's related to a couple of winners and is taken to make a successful start for new connections.
