BLOOD DESTINY finished runner-up in a race for newcomers at Auteuil in April and the third has subsequently won a Listed race over timber. He's in the Triumph Hurdle and can make a winning start for Willie Mullins. Poets Cottage has already had five starts over hurdles though his latest run at Navan was his best. He had By Your Side four lengths behind there but Gordon Elliott's charge, three-times a winner on the Flat for Ed Dunlop, was making his hurdling debut and can reverse the places. Red Trail, who had completed a double on the Flat before that race, was pulled up when her saddle slipped. Realism has a mark of 103 on the Flat despite just four starts for Aidan O'Brien, his penultimate run coming when placed in the Grade 3 Royal Whip at the Curragh. His stablemate Libby showed enough on the level to suggest she can make a decent hurdler
