10/1

Smart chaser. Pulled up in William Hill Champion Chase at Punchestown (16.4f, good, 100/1) 13 days ago won by Marine Nationale, beaten some way out. Back up in trip. This is a bit more realistic.

BLOOD DESTINY can land a second Grade 3 success of his career on the back of a sound run at Fairyhouse over Easter. Last year's winner Ash Tree Meadow is second choice ahead of Jesse Evans, a good third in a Grade 1 novice at the recent Punchestown Festival.
